This innovative program provides real-world scenarios and lessons curated to advance an organization's cybersecurity readiness while enhancing the skills and rapid response for cybersecurity professionals.

The Cyber AI Toolkit responds directly to findings of the latest EC-Council C|EH Threat Report 2024 based on transformative insights gathered from more than 1,000 industry professionals. The report revealed that 83% of cybersecurity professionals have observed significant shifts in cyber-attack methodologies attributed to AI. 80% of organizations have embraced multi-factor authentication as a cornerstone of their defense against escalating cloud threats. Equally crucial is the report's emphasis on continuous training, recognized by 82% of respondents as pivotal in enhancing incident response readiness, and over 70% of participants identify zero-day exploits and social engineering as primary threat vectors.
This stark reality revealed by EC-Council Threat Report 2024 often referred to as the 'AI Chasm,' highlights the disparity between advancing AI-driven cybersecurity solutions and the evolving tactics employed by threat actors.
