Overview

In the intricate realm of cybersecurity, a revolutionary development has emerged with the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI), specifically the subset known as Generative AI. Large Language Models (LLMs), as a part of Generative AI, have created significant ripples in the security sector. Their influence is so profound that understanding them, their architectural design and the underlying technology stacks is not just advantageous, it's imperative. Neglecting these aspects could result in overlooked security vulnerabilities that could compromise your defenses. 

We begin by deciphering Generative AI, with a focus on LLMs, elucidating their complex concepts into understandable terms. We then explore the architectural design patterns and technology stacks that form the backbone of Generative AI applications, paying special attention to potential security pitfalls. This deep dive will equip you to preempt and effectively address security issues. But the course isn't just rooted in theory - we also offer hands-on demonstrations and lessons for a direct experience of applying Generative AI, including LLMs, in cybersecurity. The course starts with an introduction to Python, Google Colab, Pytorch, and the basic principles of fine-tuning LLMs, a critical component of Generative AI. Following this, we showcase how to use Google Colab and Huggingface's open-source LLMs with security datasets to fine-tune a model for cybersecurity applications. 

By mastering Generative AI, including LLMs, you will increase your organization's resilience against an ever-growing range of cyber threats. It's time to seize this opportunity to augment your cybersecurity skills. Embrace Generative AI - the future of cybersecurity is here.
