Description

---

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence. Artificial Intelligence is transforming cybersecurity by changing how attackers plan, automate, and execute cyber attacks. While AI creates new opportunities for defenders, it is also making phishing, social engineering, malware development, and reconnaissance faster, more convincing, and easier to scale.
In this course, you'll learn howAI-powered cyber threats are reshaping the modern threat landscape throughreal-world examples, industry research, and practical security strategies. You'll explore how AI is used bynation-state actors, organized cybercrime groups, and opportunistic attackers, and understand the concept of theCapability Floor-how AI enables even less experienced attackers to perform sophisticated attacks.
