Information Security & AI Red Teamer & LLM Security Specialist Development Bootcamp: Master vulnerability assessment & incident response with live company project internship.
Apply for a Seat in the Lab
Course Overview
We do not offer generic courses. We assign you a dedicated seat in the lab under a senior developer who reviews your commits daily. Fix your logic, ship your code, refactor your system. Say goodbye to 30-student classroom factories and standard pre-recorded video loops. We prioritize proof of skill via active GitHub contribution graphs and deployed staging environments. At CACTS, you construct and deploy actual vulnerability analysis, network socket tracing, and firewall defense systems from day one, completing your technical milestones by committing code to live company repositories. Every course includes hands-on coding labs, live project internships on active staging servers, and 1-to-1 career career readiness coaching.

Student Success Stories
Real feedback from students who completed our 1-to-1 virtual AI Red Teaming Training training.
"The AI Red Teaming lab at CACTS is outstanding. The 1-to-1 virtual session format allowed me to execute direct and indirect prompt injection attacks, bypass LLM guardrails like NeMo, and test OWASP Top 10 for LLM vulnerabilities on active staging applications."
Akash P.
AI Security Analyst, Kharadi, Pune"Learned offensive AI security, prompt injection payloads, and RAG data exfiltration defense in a practical 1-to-1 environment. My mentor demonstrated how to hijack multi-agent workflows and build custom moderation guardrails line-by-line."
Tanvi S.
LLM Security Researcher, Baner, Pune"I needed hands-on experience auditing GenAI applications and AI agents. We used Microsoft PyRIT and NVIDIA Garak to automate vulnerability scans and build defense middleware. The trainer's practical AI security experience was evident throughout."
