Course Overview

Next-Gen Cyber Security: Ethical Hacking Meets AI Defense is one of the most in-demand skill sets in tech, and this course is your complete path into it. Across 12 modules and 60 hands-on hours, you’ll think like an attacker and defend like a professional, building real skills on Kali Linux, Nmap, Metasploit, Burp Suite and Wireshark. Twenty-two of those hours are spent purely in hands-on labs working through the OWASP Top 10, so you’re never just watching, you’re exploiting and fixing real vulnerabilities. From network and wireless attacks to API, mobile and AI/LLM security, you’ll cover every domain a modern penetration tester needs, including how to defend AI-integrated systems against next-gen threats. Whether you’re starting out or pivoting into security, this is where it begins.

Key Takeaways

  • Build a security mindset: CIA triad, kill chain, red/blue/purple teaming
  • Master Linux, networking and Windows fundamentals
  • Exploit networks, wireless and web apps with Kali, Nmap, Metasploit, Burp Suite
  • 22 hours of hands-on OWASP Top 10 labs
  • Test APIs, mobile apps and AI/LLM systems for real vulnerabilities
  • Write industry-standard pen test reports
  • Leave with an interview-ready resume, certification roadmap and portfolio
