The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents new opportunities for cyber security professionals, as well as formidable challenges. On one side, AI creates new potential for organisations to enhance defensive capabilities and adapt and respond to threats with unprecedented agility. At the same time, however, AI offers malicious actors new tools that magnify existing cyber dangers and make them much more dangerous.

This course aims to guide users through the changing landscape, providing a vision for what to expect as attacks get more complex and how to stay a step ahead.
