Generative AI for Cybersecurity

As cyber threats evolve, the tools needed to combat them are also evolving. Generative AI is rapidly becoming a vital asset in a cybersecurity professional’s toolkit.

It is helping streamline threat detection, automate security operations, and enhance response strategies. With cybersecurity jobs projected to grow 32% by 2032 (U.S.

Bureau of Labor Statistics) and a median salary of $112,000, there’s never been a better time to gain AI-driven security skills.

This IBM program equips you with the knowledge and hands-on expertise to integrate generative AI into cybersecurity workflows, preparing you for success in this high-demand field.

The courses have been designed to help you understand gen AI’s role in cybersecurity. You’ll learn the differences between gen AI and discriminative AI, explore real-world use cases, and discover leading AI models for text, code, image, audio, and video generation.

You’ll also learn key prompting strategies such as zero-shot and few-shot learning and work with cutting-edge tools like IBM watsonx, Prompt Lab, Spellbook, and Dust.

To gain hands-on experience, you’ll use gen AI to enhance threat intelligence, automate UBEA (User and Entity Behavior Analytics), summarize security reports, and optimize playbooks. You’ll also assess AI’s impact and risks by exploring how AI models can mitigate cyber threats, analyze real-world case studies, and identify security vulnerabilities in AI-driven workflows.

By working on real-world projects, you’ll demonstrate your expertise and create a portfolio that showcases your AI-powered cybersecurity skills to potential employers.
