Certified Offensive AI Security Professional (COASP) validates the competencies required for practitioners who need to demonstrate offensive AI security skills, emulating adversaries, validating defenses, and leading red-team/blue-team exercises to keep AI resilient, reliable, and auditable
The Certified Offensive AI Security Professional (COASP) equips you to identify and neutralize AI-specific threats before attackers do. And Bridges security, engineering, and data science so controls exist across the full AI life cycle.
Participants will gain hands-on experience to perform end-to-end adversarial testing and deliver defensive validation evidence including the ability to simulate adversarial AI kill chains, Harden AI architectures by secure system prompts, context windows, tool integrations, RAG pipelines, and agent memory, Conducting AI security assessments aligned to MITRE ATLAS, OWASP LLM/ML Top 10, NIST AI RMF, and DoD Test & Evaluation practices , This course covers how to build SOC-ready capabilities for AI-focused detection logic, incident playbooks, and forensic procedures , & how to execute prompt injection, adversarial prompting , Assess AI supply-chain risk , Implement defensive engineering controls and Produce assurance and compliance artifacts.
By the end of the course, learners will be well-prepared to take the Certified Offensive AI Security Professional (COASP) exam and demonstrate the ability to exploit vulnerabilities in LLMs and agents, and build defense that survive real world attacks, learners will master offensive techniques that break AI before the attackers do.
