Evidence‑Based Cyber Threat Intelligence
We turn real-world threat data into actionable intelligence through continuous analysis and adversary emulation, strengthening defenses across critical sectors. You'll learn to:
-
Continuously gather, categorize & analyze cyber threat data
-
Conduct realistic red‑team simulations to mimic evolving adversaries
-
Translate insights into actionable Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) and Tactics‑Techniques‑Procedures (TTPs)
Use case: Enhancing sector-specific threat intelligence frameworks for energy, critical infrastructure, and finance.
2
Secure AI & Machine Learning Strategies
We research and mitigate AI vulnerabilities, developing secure ML pipelines and best practices to ensure trustworthy, attack-resistant AI in critical environments.
-
Analyze adversarial attacks and poisoning risks in ML models
-
Develop hardened ML pipelines and secure inference techniques
-
Formulate best practices for deploying trustworthy AI in sensitive environments
Use case: Building robust AI‑powered anomaly detection with formally verified model integrity.
3
Cyber‑Physical Systems & Architecture Resilience
Stay ahead of the curve with our cutting-edge content on emerging technologies and evolving threats. Our program covers:
