Cybersecurity & AI Leadership in the Digital Era
This executive course explores the fundamentals of cybersecurity in the context of artificial intelligence. Participants develop a practical understanding of essential cybersecurity and AI concepts, examine AI-specific threats and vulnerabilities, and explore the dual-use nature of AI—how the same technologies can strengthen cyber defence or enable more sophisticated attacks. Through business-relevant discussions and practical examples, participants assess how AI is changing the cybersecurity landscape within their own organisations and identify actionable measures to manage emerging risks and strengthen resilience. The course also examines the ethical, legal and governance responsibilities leaders must consider when adopting and overseeing AI-enabled cybersecurity technologies.
Upon successful completion of the course, participants will be able to define and correctly use essential cybersecurity and AI terminology, identify and assess cybersecurity risks associated specifically with AI, and explain the dual-use nature of AI-enabled cybersecurity technologies. They will be able to evaluate how AI affects cybersecurity within their professional field or business environment and recommend practical security measures to mitigate AI-related cybersecurity risks. Participants will also be able to discuss the key ethical, legal and governance implications of using AI in cybersecurity.
