This course is designed for IT, SOC, DevSecOps, and security practitioners who want to use AI tools safely in operational workflows. You will learn how AI assistants can support tasks such as troubleshooting, scripting, detection engineering, configuration generation, infrastructure changes, and remediation, while also understanding the risks that come from trusting AI-generated outputs too quickly.
Throughout the course, you will explore common operational risks such as hallucinations, unsafe AI-generated outputs, blind execution, and sensitive data exposure. You will learn how to verify, validate, and cross-check AI-generated outputs before use, apply safe change management principles, plan for rollback and recovery, classify data before using AI, and implement practical safeguards such as validators and human approval gates in an AI-powered Ops Assistant.
