Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Artificial intelligence and large language models are transforming cybersecurity by enabling faster threat detection, automated analysis, intelligent decision-making, and adaptive security operations. This course explores how AI agents and LLMs can enhance cybersecurity capabilities across detection, analysis, response, and security management.

This course begins with the foundations of AI agents, LLM architectures, agent workflows, autonomy levels, multi-agent systems, memory, fine-tuning, prompt engineering, and cybersecurity datasets. It then covers AI-driven threat detection, vulnerability analysis, malware classification, intrusion detection, phishing defense, threat intelligence, log analysis, reverse engineering, incident response, patch generation, SOC automation, compliance, and adaptive decision-making. The course also examines AI-specific threats, including prompt injection, jailbreaking, data poisoning, supply-chain risks, bias, governance, human-in-the-loop approaches, multimodal AI, and proactive LLM defense.

By completing this course, you will gain a practical understanding of how AI agents can strengthen cybersecurity operations while addressing security, governance, ethical, and emerging risks.
