About This Course
AI-Driven Cybersecurity shows how machine learning strengthens defence — and where it introduces new risks. You will build models for the core security problems: detecting anomalies and intrusions in network traffic, classifying malware and phishing, and spotting fraud. Equally important, the course covers the adversarial side: how attackers evade and poison models, and how to harden them. You will work with realistic security data and learn to balance detection rates against false alarms, so your models are useful to a real security operations team. A verified e-Certificate of competency and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.
