Belfast, January 2026 – Nemstar is proud to announce the release of its flagship Nemstar Certified Ai Practitioner (NCAP) course, launching in early January. This hands-on programme is designed to empower security professionals and leaders to confidently navigate the risks and opportunities of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity.
Nemstar is a leading cybersecurity training and consultancy provider, dedicated to equipping organisations and professionals with the skills to thrive in an evolving digital landscape. We specialise in delivering practical, expert-led programmes that bridge the gap between emerging technologies and robust security practices. Our mission is simple: to empower businesses and individuals to anticipate, mitigate, and leverage technological change—safely and effectively.
Course Overview
The NCAP course demystifies Ai, operationalises governance, and equips participants to both defend against and leverage Ai in real-world scenarios. The curriculum is structured around four key pillars:
• AI Unboxed: Understand how Generative and Agentic Ai work, the capabilities and limitations of large language models (LLMs), and where real-world failures—such as bias, drift, and hallucinations—can occur.
• Ai Governed: Learn to build an Ai risk register, map controls to leading frameworks (CSA STAR AI/AICM, ISACA AAISM/AAIA, OWASP AI), and maintain audit-ready evidence.
• Evil Ai: Explore how attackers weaponise Ai, including prompt injection, RAG poisoning, model backdoors, jailbreaks, and the use of tools like Shell-GPT and WormGPT for phishing, malware, and automated exploits.
• Good Ai: Discover how to use Ai to strengthen security controls, monitor behaviour, and enhance incident response.
