Cybersecurity in the AI Era

About this course

Cybersecurity affects everyone, including in the delivery of basic products and services. If you or your organization want to better understand how to optimize your cybersecurity in this evolving AI era, this is the course series for you and your colleagues to take -- from seasoned professionals to your non-technical colleagues. Your instructor, Dr. Charles Harry, has served on the front lines with the NSA (National Security Agency) and as an expert advising corporate and institutional leaders on managing cybersecurity risk. He brings a rare and engaging perspective to help you learn cybersecurity from the ground up. Cybersecurity in the AI Era, unlike most courses, dynamically evolves with the industry. It lays the groundwork to understand and explore the key issues facing practitioners and policy makers attempting to manage the problem of cybersecurity, from its technical foundations to the domestic and international policy considerations surrounding governance, privacy, and risk management for the resiliency of critical systems, to applications for achieving the goals of an enterprise, an institution, or a nation. This course series is designed for students with some or no background in information technology, whether a novice or active in the cybersecurity field (engineers and computer scientists will learn the broader context and business aspects of cybersecurity). It provides the principles to understand current debates shaping a rapidly evolving security landscape.
