AI for Cybersecurity: Threat Detection and SOC Operations

A premium, hands-on course on applying artificial intelligence to defensive cybersecurity operations, updated for 2026. This is a blue-team course: you learn to use AI and machine learning to protect the organization you are authorized to defend, not to attack anyone. You will understand the modern SOC and how AI augments SIEM platforms such as Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel and Elastic Security; build anomaly detection and UEBA baselines; map detections to the MITRE ATT&CK framework; run AI-assisted threat hunting; cut false positives with intelligent triage and correlation; automate response safely with SOAR and human-in-the-loop approvals; analyse logs, network traffic, malware and phishing with ML; enrich and operationalise threat intelligence; prioritise vulnerabilities by real risk; work effectively with analyst copilots such as Microsoft Security Copilot; and understand how adversaries misuse AI so you can defend against it. Throughout, the course keeps a hard focus on human oversight, GDPR-compliant handling of security logs and personal data, responsible disclosure, and safe automation. Includes a comprehensive final assessment.
