Artificial Intelligence for Cybersecurity

Course details

Find out how to unleash the power of AI for cybersecurity. Cloud and application security leader Sam Sehgal guides you through using AI, with the needed preparation and guardrails, to solve complex cybersecurity problems. Sam defines artificial intelligence and goes over how to apply AI to cybersecurity. He reviews the disciplines of artificial intelligence, as well as the role of machine learning, and he shows you how to differentiate between discriminative AI and generative AI. Sam details the importance of confidentiality, integrity, and availability in any cybersecurity goal and goes over several cybersecurity gaps and goals. Then he dives into actually solving cybersecurity problems with AI and the myriad ways you can apply machine learning to security.
