AI Red Team Analyst (AI-RTA) Certificate is earned by mastering AI security testing, LLM security, prompt injection, AI agent security, RAG security, MCP security, AI tool and function-calling security, and AI application penetration testing through hands-on labs, practical attack scenarios, vulnerability analysis, and a practical assessment.
Capabilities
The holder of an AI Red Team Analyst (AI-RTA) Certificate possesses the capability to:
- Analyze the architecture, attack surface, and trust boundaries of modern AI-powered applications, including LLMs, AI agents, RAG pipelines, MCP services, tools, APIs, databases, and connected backend systems.
- Identify and test AI-specific vulnerabilities, including direct and indirect prompt injection, agent instruction manipulation, excessive agency, insecure behavior, and unauthorized actions.
- Assess RAG systems, AI tools, function-calling mechanisms, and MCP implementations for knowledge poisoning, retrieval manipulation, improper authorization, excessive permissions, unauthorized tool invocation, and insecure trust relationships.
- Perform security testing against AI-powered web applications, identify application-level vulnerabilities, and analyze how weaknesses can impact connected systems and services.
- Chain AI and application-layer weaknesses to demonstrate realistic attack paths, assess security impact, and conduct structured AI security assessments within authorized environments.
- Analyze adversarial AI techniques and map relevant attack scenarios to frameworks such as MITRE ATLAS.
Next Steps
This certification is best suited for AI Red Team Analysts, AI Security Analysts, AI Application Security Testers, AI Penetration Testers, AI Security Engineers, AI Security Researchers, AI Red Team Operators, and Application Security Engineers with an AI focus. Additionally, learners can advance with the following program:
- OCO-AI – Offensive Cyber Operations with AI → An advanced offensive security program focused on integrating LLMs and autonomous agents across the cyber attack lifecycle, covering AI-assisted OSINT, agentic reconnaissance, MCP-integrated offensive infrastructure, AI-assisted code and binary analysis, enterprise security assessments, and operational automation across 7 adversarial modules mapped to MITRE ATT&CK for Enterprise.
