Join #LatinaGeeks and Microsoft for a two-part workshop that will equip participants with a comprehensive understanding of both cybersecurity fundamentals and generative AI prompt engineering techniques.
In today’s boundaryless workplace, comprehensive security is essential, and the significance of understanding cybersecurity fundamentals cannot be overstated. 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.
