About the Training
This training program is designed to help participants understand how artificial intelligence is transforming the cybersecurity landscape. On the one hand, AI creates new opportunities for faster threat detection, automated analysis, and stronger defense. On the other hand, it also enables more sophisticated cyberattacks, including AI-generated phishing, deepfake-based social engineering, automated vulnerability discovery, and more adaptive malicious activity.
The training provides a practical overview of how AI is already being used by attackers and defenders, what new risks organizations should be aware of, and how security teams, business leaders, and decision-makers can respond to this shift. The program combines strategic understanding with real-world examples and practical discussions on AI-related cyber risks, defensive measures, and organizational readiness.
