CYS612 AI for Cybersecurity

[2–0, 2 cr.]

This course introduces students to the fundamental concepts and models in Artificial Intelligence that can be applied to cybersecurity data and applications. Topics include analysis of computer viruses, network traffic, financial crime investigations, clustering user activities, and adversarial learning. Students will develop a robust understanding of machine learning’s capabilities and limitations in cybersecurity contexts, including insights into how adversaries use adversarial ML models to target ML-based security systems. The course will equip students with the skills to construct their own AI-based security tools and automate their workflows through the use of AI.
