IBM: Mastering Generative AI for Cybersecurity
About this course
Rav Ahuja teaches how generative AI is reshaping cybersecurity: user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), threat intelligence, automated incident report summarization and playbooks, countering phishing, malware, misinformation, and deepfakes, plus NLP-specific attack vectors like prompt injection. The course also covers how gen AI is changing SIEM and SOC workflows for incident response, threat detection, and vulnerability management.
The honest take: this is an Intermediate-level course assuming you already have cybersecurity fundamentals — it's about layering generative AI skills on top, not learning security from scratch. Comes with hands-on labs and a final project, which is more practical than many generative-AI overview courses.
