C|OASP (Certified Offensive AI Security Professional) is a hands-on, practitioner-level credential that validates your ability to ethically attack AI systems so you can defend them with engineering-grade controls.
C|OASP is not about building AI models or running AI programs. It is about proving you can:
Think like an attacker inside AI systems
Uncover weaknesses across models and pipelines
Validate security controls
Reduce operational risk before deployment
This is the only credential built for offensive AI security work with outcomes you can demonstrate.
