At a glance
Last updated
E026 AI for IT Automation and Security (ITCL 2201, 3 CUs in the September 2026 WGU catalog) is the applied-AI course of the B.S. Cloud and Network Engineering: term 6 of the General, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure tracks and term 7 of the Cisco track. Per the catalog description it explores the intersection of AI and network security: enhancing security practices, automating tasks, optimizing a network, and improving threat detection and response. Coursework Ninja completes E026 done-for-you, fixed quote in writing first. From $99. Independent of WGU.
Next question: what does E027 Virtualization and IaaS, the term-7 course on every track, expect?
Per WGU's published description, AI for IT Automation and Security explores the intersection of AI and network security. It emphasizes how AI techniques can enhance security practices, automate tasks, optimize a network, and improve threat detection and response. It is the degree's operations-facing AI course, pitched at the network and security work IT teams already do rather than at building models.
All four B.S. Cloud and Network Engineering tracks carry E026, with one honest split: the General, AWS, and Azure tables place it in term 6 beside E025 Cloud and Network Security Models, while the Cisco table holds it to term 7 beside E027 Virtualization and IaaS. If your program plan shows ITCL 2201, this page applies either way. Message us the code and where you stand, and we quote a flat price in writing.
- Fixed quote in writing before any work, singles from $99

Coverage
What E026 completion covers
AI-enhanced security practices
The description's first skill: how AI techniques enhance security practices. Scored work expects the use case tied to the security task, not AI vocabulary in the abstract.
Task automation
Automating tasks is the operations row: where automation genuinely helps an IT team, and where it does not. The scored pattern names the task, the technique, and the limit.
Network optimization
Optimizing a network with AI covers performance and prediction: traffic patterns, anomaly baselines, and capacity decisions. Expect scenario answers that connect the technique to a measurable network outcome.
Threat detection and response
The description closes on improving threat detection and response: AI-assisted detection, triage, and response speed. This pairs directly with E025's defense techniques in the same term on three of the four tracks.
Full degree plan integration
E026 alone is a single from $99. On a remaining cloud and network list it folds into the flat $3,000 bachelor's package with the written 6-month finish guarantee covering every course on the plan, this one included.

Bottlenecks
Where E026 stalls cloud and network students
E026 stalls two crowds: admins with strong network habits and no AI exposure, and students who over-read the AI label and prepare for model math that never arrives. These are the stalls we take over most often.
- The AI label misread as machine-learning math; the catalog pitches operations use cases.
- Automation answers written as tool advertisements instead of task, technique, and limit.
- Threat-detection scenarios answered generically, without the response half of the pair.
- Cisco-track students surprised by the term-7 placement after planning around term 6.
- Study time split evenly across topics instead of weighted toward the security applications the description emphasizes.

Per the current catalog, all four B.S. Cloud and Network Engineering tracks: term 6 of the General, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure tables, and term 7 of the Cisco table. If your degree plan shows ITCL 2201, this is the course.
WGU does not publish assessment formats in the catalog. We confirm the current format for your exact catalog year at intake, and the fixed quote covers whichever assessment the course carries.
No, per the catalog's own framing. The description pitches AI as an operations tool: enhancing security practices, automating tasks, optimizing a network, and improving threat detection and response. It does not ask you to build or train models. This course is the applied, network-side version.
On the General, AWS, and Azure tracks, E026 lands in term 6 beside D426, D329, and E025. On the Cisco track it sits in term 7 beside E027 Virtualization and IaaS and the D318 and D337 infrastructure rows. E025 and E027 have their own completion pages here.
One course starts at $99, with the exact figure fixed in writing once we know where you stand. On a longer remaining bachelor's list, the bachelor's package is $3,000 flat with the written 6-month finish guarantee covering every course on the plan, this one included.
