About This Course
AI Cyber Threat Intelligence & Dark Web Defense focuses on the defensive use of threat intelligence, taught within a legal, ethical frame. You learn how AI helps collect and analyse threat data — including safe, lawful monitoring of dark-web and open sources — to surface emerging threats, leaked credentials and attacker activity, and how to turn that intelligence into concrete defensive action. The emphasis throughout is defence: anticipating and blocking threats before they land. You finish able to reason about an AI-driven threat-intelligence and defence capability. A verified e-Certificate of competency and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.
