Cyber Pros Red Teaming AI (CPRT-AI)

AI is changing attack surfaces fast and companies need staff who can test and secure models. Traditional pen-test skills aren’t enough. Attackers are weaponizing prompt injection, adversarial examples, and RAG-leaks teams are scrambling to hire people who actually know how to attack and defend AI systems. Solution: (CPRT-AI)

The Core Program: 16-Week Guided CPRT-AI System

A structured, week-by-week curriculum built directly on the industry-leading HTB AI Red Teamer Path. We guide you through every module, from "Introduction to AI Security" to "Advanced Adversarial ML," ensuring you don't just complete it you master it.

Comes with the new CompTIA SecAI+ Certification

We are laser-focused on the new (hypothetical) SecAI+ certification. You get dedicated prep sessions, proprietary practice exams, and study guides that map directly to the exam objectives. Our goal is a 100% first-time pass rate.

Weekly LIVE AI "Hack & Defend" Coaching Group Calls

Every week, join our AI expert fora live lab walkthroughs, Q&A sessions, and deep dives into real-world AI security breaches. Get your questions answered in real-time. All calls are recorded.
