AI and Cybersecurity is an advanced course from Örebro University's Smarter programme that explores where artificial intelligence meets cyber-defence. You will see how AI is used both to protect digital systems - for example fingerprint recognition for authenticating legitimate users - and to attack them, such as fuzzing techniques that crash vulnerable targets. The course gives working professionals the tools to enhance, evaluate and challenge the security of modern systems with AI. It is given in English at distance with a few mandatory meetings on campus.

What you will learn

What you learn.

  • Du kan förklara hur AI används både defensivt och offensivt i cybersäkerhet.
  • Du kan tillämpa AI-baserade metoder för autentisering, till exempel biometrisk igenkänning.
  • Du kan beskriva och resonera kring AI-drivna attacker såsom fuzzing mot sårbara system.
  • Du kan utvärdera hur AI både kan stärka och underminera ett systems säkerhet.
  • Du kan kritiskt bedöma risker när AI införs i säkerhetskritiska digitala system.
Curriculum

How the course is built.

  1. AI i cybersäkerhet - en översikt

    Hur AI förändrar både försvar och angrepp i digitala system.

  2. Defensiv AI

    AI-baserad autentisering och igenkänning, t.ex. fingeravtrycks- och biometrisk identifiering av legitima användare.

  3. Offensiv AI

    AI-stödda attacker som fuzzing för att hitta och utnyttja sårbarheter.

  4. Utvärdering och motåtgärder

    Bedöma och stärka säkerheten i system där AI används av båda sidor.
