The CERT Leadership in AI for Cybersecurity Application Workshop is the capstone course for the CERT Leadership in AI for Cybersecurity Professional Certificate Program. Throughout the program, students gain skills and knowledge in AI fundamentals; this workshop serves as an opportunity to both exercise these skills and demonstrate proficiency in the course subject matter.

This two-day immersive, instructor-led workshop guides participants through an end-to-end AI project using a cybersecurity dataset pertaining to vulnerabilities found in JavaScript source code functions on public GitHub repositories. The dataset contains approximately 12,000 records, each representing a source code function with a label indicating whether it contains a security vulnerability, along with code metrics obtained from static analysis tools.

Students will build an end-to-end AI solution using Python, consider how the solution might be deployed to realize value for their organization, and present their work to the class for feedback. Participants will work both individually and in small teams on a capstone project, mirroring the types of AI-enabled cybersecurity problems encountered in real-world environments.
