As technology continues to evolve, so do the threats that target our digital infrastructure. Enabling 360-degree protection requires education and awareness to safeguard identities, data, and devices. Moreover, the integration of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has brought forth a new wave of possibilities and challenges, particularly in the realm of prompt engineering for AI models.  By the end of this two-part workshop, participants will have gained a holistic understanding of cybersecurity essentials and the skills to effectively harness the power of generative AI through prompt engineering. The combination of these two topics provides a unique perspective on securing and leveraging technology in today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape.  Meet our Instructors: Brian Santacruz   Cloud Solutions Architect @ Microsoft  With over nine years of work experience in software engineering, cloud computing, and cyber security, Brian is a passionate and skilled Cloud Solutions Architect at Microsoft, where he works with high-performance computing and Azure Defender for Cloud.
