Claude for Cybersecurity

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

Claude for Cybersecurity by Christopher Nett is a hands-on course that teaches you how to apply Anthropic's Claude across real-world cybersecurity workflows. Whether you're triaging alerts in a SOC, producing threat intelligence reports, or reviewing application code — this course shows you how to get there faster and more effectively with AI.

You'll start with the fundamentals: how Claude works, how to write effective security prompts, and how to use Claude Code as an AI-powered terminal. From there, you'll build autonomous security agents using the Claude Agent SDK. Then you apply everything across three security domains through hands-on labs using real-world scenarios, tools, and data formats.

By the end of this course, you'll have practical experience integrating AI into your daily security operations. Here's what each section covers:

1. Introduction to Claude: Understand Claude's model family (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku), choose the right model for your security tasks, compare model tiers on a real analysis task, and master six prompt engineering patterns designed for cybersecurity.

2. Claude Code for Security: Install and configure Claude Code, learn the Claude Agent SDK architecture — tools, hooks, and sandboxing — set up your full lab environment, and build your first agents, progressing from a simple tool-calling agent to an automated alert triage workflow.

3. SOC & Incident Response: Analyze phishing emails and malicious macros, and generate SIGMA and YARA detection rules with Claude.

4. Cyber Threat Intelligence: Profile threat actors and enrich indicators of compromise through live API integrations (VirusTotal, AbuseIPDB) with Claude.

5. Secure Development & AppSec: Run AI-powered code reviews, perform deep CVE analysis, and audit Azure Terraform templates for cloud security misconfigurations with Claude.

Every lab in this course is fully standalone — you can jump to any section that matches your role or interest without completing earlier labs first. Whether you're a SOC analyst, CTI professional, or AppSec engineer, you'll find practical content tailored to your domain.
