The course "Machine Learning and Emerging Technologies in Cybersecurity" offers an in-depth exploration of machine learning applications in cybersecurity, focusing on techniques for threat detection and prevention. Participants will gain a solid grounding in machine learning fundamentals, including neural networks, clustering, and support vector machines, tailored specifically for cybersecurity contexts. Unique to this course is the integration of machine learning with Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), equipping learners with practical skills to enhance threat detection capabilities.
Additionally, the course examines Tor networking, providing insights into secure and anonymous communication systems, as well as the critical role of IDS within Cyber Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) in enterprise environments. By the end of the course, learners will not only understand how to apply advanced machine learning techniques but also be proficient in tools like RapidMiner and Security Onion. This blend of theory and hands-on application ensures that participants leave with the skills needed to tackle real-world cybersecurity challenges effectively, making this course a vital resource for those looking to advance their careers in cybersecurity and data science.
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to machine learning and data mining, covering key algorithms and tools like RapidMiner and Security Onion. Students will explore advanced topics such as neural networks, clustering, and support vector machines, while also learning to evaluate model performance through confusion matrices and ROC curves. Additionally, the course delves into ToR architecture, privacy concerns, and the practical installation of ToR clients. Emphasis will be placed on incident response within Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) and effective information-sharing practices. By the end of the course, participants will have a robust understanding of both machine learning techniques and their applications in cybersecurity.

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
If you subscribed, you get a 7-day free trial during which you can cancel at no penalty. After that, we don’t give refunds, but you can cancel your subscription at any time. See our full refund policy.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
