Things you need to know

What are the prerequisites for this course?

There are no prerequisites. The course teaches AI application in security from first principles. Familiarity with security operations, KQL, or Microsoft security tools will help you move faster, but is not required.

What are the device requirements?

A device with a modern browser. No lab environment required. The course provides worked examples and templates you can apply directly in your SOC.

How will the course benefit your career?

AI is transforming how security operations teams detect, investigate, and respond. Organisations need people who can deploy AI strategically, not just use chatbots, but integrate AI into detection engineering, investigation workflows, and SOC processes with proper governance. This course gives you that capability.
