Course Overview
AI is rapidly reshaping how organisations detect and respond to cyber threats. This course provides a structured, practical introduction to applying AI within security operations, focusing on detection logic, anomaly identification, and signal prioritisation. Learners will understand how AI complements traditional rule-based detection approaches.
Through mentor-led sessions and practical scenarios, participants will explore real-world use-cases such as phishing detection, anomaly detection in logs, and behaviour-based threat identification. The course emphasises responsible and safe deployment, helping teams avoid over-reliance on automation while improving detection quality.
By the end of the programme, learners will be equipped to evaluate, design, and support AI-driven detection strategies within SOC environments. The course is aligned with modern security analytics practices and prepares professionals to contribute to AI-enabled security operations confidently.
