Test AI agents before release: tool misuse, memory poisoning, multi-agent attacks, sandbox lab, failure metrics
What You Will Learn:
- Take away 93 tools: record templates, checklists and test procedures, plus 8 downloadable tool files, one for every lecture
- Map agent attack surfaces across goals, planning, tool use, memory, delegation, trust boundaries and side effects
- Design multi-turn prompt injection and goal-hijacking tests with explicit success, failure, containment and recovery oracles
- Trace unsafe tool affordance chains from attacker-controlled sources to simulated forbidden states without touching live systems
- Test memory poisoning, session persistence, cross-user isolation, cleanup and retained utility with benign synthetic canaries
- Build reproducible cross-agent spoofing, replay, privilege-laundering, context-smuggling and collusion scenarios

The Reality of Securing Autonomous Agents
If you have been tracking the AI space lately, you know we have moved past simple chatbots. We are now in the era of Agentic AI—systems that don’t just talk but actually “do” things. They access databases, send emails, and even write code. But here is the kicker: as a security professional, this scares the hell out of me. Most courses out there focus on basic prompt engineering, but “Agentic AI Security: Red Team, Prompt Injection, 93 Tools” is a different beast entirely. It’s a deep dive into the “Agency” problem, where the AI’s ability to plan and execute becomes its greatest vulnerability. This isn’t just about “don’t tell me how to make a bomb”; it’s about stopping an agent from accidentally wiping a production database because of a context-smuggling attack.
What I appreciated most about this course is its focus on the attack surface of the future. It’s no longer just a perimeter; it’s a web of trust boundaries and delegation chains. The course treats AI agents like any other piece of critical software that requires rigorous certification prep and testing before it ever sees a live user. The hands-on labs don’t just show you what a vulnerability looks like; they force you to build failure metrics and recovery oracles to prove the system can actually handle a real-world breach.
Who Should Sign Up?
This isn’t necessarily a “my first AI course” type of deal. While it covers the spectrum from beginner to advanced, you will get the most out of it if you have a foundational grasp of Python and how Large Language Models (LLMs) operate. If you are a Red Teamer, a Pen Tester, or an AI Engineer looking to add job-ready skills to your resume, you are in the right place. It’s also incredibly valuable for AppSec managers who need to define industry-standard tools and protocols for their dev teams. If you’re looking for career growth in the high-paying intersection of AI and Cybersecurity, this is your roadmap.
Mastering the Toolset and Skills
The sheer volume of resources here is massive. You walk away with a toolkit of 93 tools—which includes everything from record templates to specific test procedures that I’ve already started implementing in my own real-world projects. The course provides 8 downloadable tool files that are essentially “cheat codes” for every lecture. You’ll learn to:
- Trace unsafe tool affordance chains to see how an attacker can jump from a simple “read email” permission to a “delete cloud instance” disaster.
- Implement synthetic canaries to detect memory poisoning—where an agent’s “long-term memory” is corrupted to influence future behavior.
- Build multi-turn prompt injection scenarios that bypass simple keyword filters by using sophisticated goal-hijacking techniques.
- Simulate cross-agent collusion, where two seemingly benign agents are tricked into “teaming up” to bypass security controls.
Career Benefits & Job Roles
The job market for AI security is exploding. Companies are desperate for professionals who can perform Red Teaming for AI. Completing this course positions you for specialized roles like AI Security Researcher, LLM Red Teamer, or SecOps Engineer focusing on autonomous systems. These are high-CPC roles where the demand far outstrips the supply of qualified talent. The hands-on labs ensure that when you sit down for an interview, you aren’t just reciting theory—you’re showing them the sandbox lab environments you’ve built and the privilege-laundering scenarios you’ve successfully mitigated.
The Pros
- Unrivaled Practicality: The 93 tools and templates provided aren’t just fluff; they are professional-grade documents you can use for industry-standard security audits.
- Architecture-First Approach: Instead of just “tricking the AI,” the course teaches you to map attack surfaces across planning, memory, and delegation, which is vital for long-term career growth.
- Isolation Focus: The emphasis on cross-user isolation and cleanup protocols ensures you’re building agents that are safe for enterprise deployment, not just toy demos.
The Cons
- Intensity Warning: This isn’t a “passive watching” course. The technical depth of the context-smuggling and multi-agent attacks can be overwhelming if you don’t stay on top of the lab work. It moves fast, and you’ll need to put in the hours to truly master the hands-on labs.
