🆕 The new HTB Certified Offensive AI Expert (HTB COAE) is officially here!

As organizations integrate machine learning and large language models at an unprecedented scale, the attack surface is expanding faster than most security teams can adapt. AI systems are no longer a mystery; they are the next critical frontier for red teamers.

Following the release of the AI Red Teamer Job-Role Path, the HTB Certified Offensive AI Expert (HTB COAE) certification has arrived to validate your expertise. This path and certification are built to teach real-world adversarial attacks, moving far beyond basic prompt injection to cover the full spectrum of AI and ML vulnerabilities.

You will work through hands-on labs that focus on how attackers actually target AI environments: adversarial ML, data poisoning, evasion attacks, LLM output exploitation, and AI privacy breaches. No theoretical simulations here; you will be performing professional-grade assessments on realistic infrastructure.
