Overview
AI capabilities have evolved to fundamentally reshape cyber security threats and defenses, challenging traditional security models and infrastructure built for human-speed attacks. This is driven by their ability to rapidly analyze complex systems at scale and uncover vulnerabilities beyond human limits. As AI capabilities continue to accelerate and reduce traditional attack constraints, how can security teams across organizations effectively test and secure systems against AI-native risks? The answer lies in building competence in AI-driven security to prevent isolated weaknesses from escalating into broader system failures. DSCI Certified AI Native Security Researcher (DCASR), supported by CERT-In, has been designed to equip cyber security professionals with the knowledge, practical skills, and hands-on experience required to evaluate, test, and strengthen systems against current and emerging AI-enabled threats.
Challenges introduced by AI in Cyber Security
Unlocks new attack techniques, new abuse paths and new social-technical attack routes.
Add new methods of interpreting and exploiting system behavior.
New challenges to established security principles, including ‘Secure-by-Design’.
Collapsing cost structures behind security attacks while increasing impact.
