The lessons

What you'll learn

A plain-English mental model for using AI in security work — without the hype.

2. Your first 5 security prompts

Phishing triage, log summarizing, policy plain-talk, risk wording, and "explain this CVE."

3. Spotting AI mistakes

Why AI hallucinates and how a security professional verifies its output before trusting it.

4. AI on the job

Where AI actually helps a SOC analyst, GRC coordinator, privacy analyst, and auditor.

5. Your next step

A guided practice exercise using the TechGics Practice Lab and AI-powered feedback.

Bonus

A short, safe-use checklist for using AI at work without leaking sensitive data.
