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."
