What participants say
Coming from the non-IT background, I thought cyber security subject would be alien for me. But Mikko is just freaking awesome and stole the show!
Participant, AI for Leaders: Leveraging Data Analytics for Business, 2025
The hands-on approach rocks! But more importantly, Mikko's delivery style is awesome for a heavy topic.
NUS course participant
Cool lecturer and really good materials. Mikko really made me think and ask the right questions.
Participant, Leading with Big Data Analytics & Machine Learning, 2019
Mixes humor in his class, and goes straight to the heart of the issue in an easy to understand manner
NUS course participant
Deadpan humour is rare nowadays and he delivered! The greatest takeaway is he makes us think about risk instead of telling us what to do or scaring us with worst possibilities.
NUS course participant
Terrific sharing! Wish the lecturer had shared more—there’s still so much to learn and explore! Please update me when there's future programme by Mikko.
Participant, AI for Leaders: Leveraging Data Analytics for Business, 2025
Enjoyed the session. Was informative and concise, with good examples that we can easily apply to our work context.
NUS course participant
Prof Mikko's session was extremely enjoyable and eye-opening. He encouraged us to rethink our perceptions and to go outside the box. He also gave us a better appreciation for the different levels of the web and how people could take advantage of it. I also thoroughly enjoyed his humour which truly drove his points home. Also he has really nice shoes.

Very interesting and eye opening presentation that helped me to have a better appreciation and understanding of cyber threats to businesses and individuals.
NUS course participant
A real eye opener for me. Having someone with actual hacking experience to share the truth and provide insights to cyber risks and security lends a deeper and unknown dimension to the issues. Great session

the description on different sources and types of breach in security is enlightening for a non-tech, non-it professional like myself.

the live session gives me a better understanding by having discussion with real life examples instead of just purely theories.

the use of an actual scenario helped narrow the focus on how to assess ai impact, including its implementation risk.
