What you'll learn:
- Understand how AI and ML models work and apply them to real-world SOC use cases including threat detection, alert triage, and incident response.
- Triage smarter: let AI sort and prioritize thousands of alerts so you focus on what matters.
- Enrich threat intelligence and accelerate investigations using AI-augmented analysis, pattern recognition, and contextual threat correlation.
- Build a hands-on integration of Claude Desktop with Splunk via MCP to automate security incident detection, response, and reporting workflows.
- Learn how AI thinks — models, types, and how they spot threats humans might miss.
Disclosure: This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
Cyber threats are evolving faster than human analysts can respond. This course equips security professionals, SOC analysts, and aspiring cybersecurity practitioners with the knowledge and hands-on skills to harness artificial intelligence for smarter, faster, and more effective security operations.
