About this course
Instruction detection systems (IDSs) can help organizations monitor networks or systems for malicious activity or policy violations and alert them when such activity is discovered. In this course, you will explore the key roles artificial intelligence (AI) plays in cybersecurity, including prediction, detection, and response. Then you will discover key differences between intrusion detection systems, vulnerability management systems, behavioral analytics, and security auditing systems. Next, you will investigate intrusion detection system types like network intrusion, network node, host intrusion, protocol-based, and application protocol-based intrusion detection systems. Examine intrusion detection system methods, such as signature-based intrusion, anomaly-based, and hybrid intrusion detection, and take a look at AI-based intrusion detection benefits and challenges. Finally, focus on how AI can detect and prevent security threats, and dig into possible future trends related to security threats.

4 In-Demand Cybersecurity Skills That Will Help Get You Hired
There are an estimated 469,930 cybersecurity job openings in the United States — and you might have the skills necessary to fill one of them.
As tech continues to transform our lives, more people are needed to defend these technologies and keep up with their advancements, says Okey Obudulu, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for Skillsoft, the company that owns Codecademy. “The blatant attacks on companies’ networks have led more and more companies to really get serious around the demand for cybersecurity professionals,” he says.
Cybersecurity is an umbrella term for protecting computer systems, networks, people, and organizations from online threats and bad actors. The roles within a cybersecurity team range from Penetration Testers who hack into an organization’s network to uncover vulnerabilities, to Incident Response Analyst who are essentially detectives who solve crimes with digital data.
A lot of cybersecurity professionals get their start in other technical jobs, like Software Developer or Network Administrator, explains Ricki Burke, founder of CyberSec People, a global cybersecurity recruitment and staffing company. With the right cybersecurity skills on your resume, you can feel confident about breaking into the industry.
