Applied Cybersecurity with AI

No prior cybersecurity role is required, but you should have the technical foundation described in the eligibility section — comfort with basic IT concepts, networks and the command line. This is an entry point into defensive security, not a generalist introduction.

This is a defensive / Blue Team cybersecurity program, not an ethical hacking course. You'll learn how to detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats using the same mindset security teams apply in the real world. Along the way, you'll also study how attackers operate and the techniques they commonly use, so you can better identify, understand, and defend against those threats. The emphasis is on building defensive skills rather than offensive hacking techniques.

AI is used throughout the program as a supervised security tool for analysis and workflow support — mapping alerts, drafting incident reports, running vulnerability assessments, and verifying AI output at every step. You still learn the underlying detection, investigation and response skills yourself, so you can tell when the tool is wrong.

Yes. Live sessions run Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings (19:30–21:30 WIB), and every session is recorded. The opening and graduation are also held on campus at BINUS Kemanggisan, but attending in person is optional and both can be joined online.

Defensive cybersecurity focuses on monitoring systems, detecting suspicious activity, investigating evidence, containing incidents and improving controls. Blue Team practitioners protect organisations rather than attempting unauthorised access.

You practise the SOC analyst core loop: reviewing alerts, triaging severity, analysing logs and network evidence, mapping attacker behaviour, escalating findings and documenting an incident response. The program also covers communication and defensible decision-making.

Across three lab days you apply the program's defensive concepts in a live AWS cloud environment, accessed remotely from your own machine: working an alert queue with live threats, mapping and monitoring an AWS network, and configuring and validating an AI security agent. The labs are designed and taught by AWS security specialists.

Every module ends in an applied output you can show an employer: a security capability map, an escalation brief, a network control selection, a remediation brief, and a working AI-assisted security tool built as your capstone. Together they evidence threat detection, incident response, network and application security, cloud security and supervised AI use.

Yes, for your capstone, on systems you own or are authorised to assess, using passive techniques such as breach data, certificate transparency logs and public scan data. The three labs run on AWS environments built for the program.

We do not guarantee placement or a job. The program includes two dedicated mentorship sessions, a review of Indonesian cybersecurity career pathways, and a live capstone presentation to a panel of industry experts. You leave with five portfolio artifacts, a professional certificate, and a realistic 90-day plan — evidence of operational capability you can take to the market.

The curriculum builds foundational skills relevant to junior defensive-security paths such as SOC analyst, security operations and incident-response support. It does not guarantee employment; role fit depends on prior experience, performance, portfolio and hiring requirements.

Yes. Participants who complete the capstone and the program requirements receive a professional certificate backed by academia and industry, awarded at the graduation ceremony held on the BINUS Kemanggisan campus. If you cannot attend in person, you join graduation online and the certificate is issued to you the same way.

Yes. We invoice companies directly and offer multi-seat options for teams. Book a consultation and we'll set it up.
