Enhancing Cybersecurity: Harness the Potential of AI to Defend Against Cyber Threats

ChatGPT, Dall-E, Bard, Synthesia, and Decktopus. What’s a person to do? We survived other technology – the PC, the Internet, Wikipedia – and we’ll survive artificial intelligence.

Join Cengage co-authors Les Dlabay and Brad Kleindl for insights on not only how to survive but thrive in using AI for your Career and Technical Education course planning, creating class assignments, and developing student AI career skills.

Webinar: Across industries, but especially in cybersecurity, the capabilities of AI stretch the imagination as to what it can do today and in the future. Should we run in fear of AI—or do we embrace it as a powerful new tool? How can we rein in AI to better serve our purposes? In this session, we will explore how AI works, how it can be effectively taught and responsibly used by high school students, and its applications in the field of cybersecurity with Mark Ciampa and Jill West
