Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Cyber Security, and why should I learn about it?

    The world is becoming more digital every day, and with that comes a growing need for people who understand how to keep that digital world safe. Learning about cyber security gives you the power to protect yourself and others online. Plus, it's a field that's always evolving, offering endless opportunities for those who are curious, enjoy problem-solving, and want to make a real difference.

  • What role does AI play in modern Cyber Security?

    AI is reshaping cyber security by enhancing both defensive and offensive capabilities. On the defensive side, AI helps detect and respond to threats by analysing massive amounts of data quickly and efficiently. It can identify potential risks based on patterns and behaviours, something traditional tools may miss. However, AI is also used offensively by hackers for tasks like phishing, creating deep fakes, and automating penetration testing.

    You will need a good internet connection, and a laptop/PC and free accounts for Tines and AnyRun. You can also use your own email clients to run the Demos. This course also uses ChatGPT, Virus Total, Malware Bazaar, Azure, WhereGoes, ScanQR and AbuseIPDB.
