From IC design files and photomask processes to machine recipes and legacy equipment that cannot be updated freely, the cybersecurity risks facing the semiconductor industry are very different from those of an ordinary corporate IT environment. When ransomware, APT (advanced persistent threat) attacks or unpatched vulnerabilities enter a fab, the consequences may go beyond data leaks to abnormal machines, production-line shutdowns and operational impact. This course goes from the "threat landscape" all the way to "OT on-site defense," helping participants rethink that what a fab needs is not just IT security, but a defense mindset that truly understands OT environments, capacity requirements and equipment constraints.

An effective AI-assisted SOC must know how Security Data → ML Detection → GenAI Investigation → Human Decision each play their part and connect into an incident analysis process that can actually be put into practice. After the course, participants will take away: 1. An AI-assisted Security Analysis approach that can be ported to different SIEM/SOC environments. 2. A complete experience of Security Log Hunting and GenAI Incident Investigation. 3. The correct positioning of ML Detection: used for anomaly detection and prioritization, not to replace SOC Analysts. 4. A practical judgment framework for validating GenAI output and for AI Security Governance.
