Is C-AgAIPen Right for You?

Quick honesty check before checkout. Self-select in or out.

This is for you if

  • You've pentested web apps, APIs, or LLM-powered apps
  • You understand what an AI agent, tool call, and MCP server are
  • You've worked with LangChain, AutoGen, CrewAI, or similar
  • You want hands-on validation, not multiple choice theory
  • You're moving from LLM security into agentic systems

This is not for you if

  • You're brand new to security (start with Essentials tier)
  • You've never touched an LLM API or prompt engineering
  • You need an instructor-led course to learn the material
  • You want a generalist AI/ML cert (try C-AI/MLPen instead)
Why C-AgAIPen

Built for Multi-Agent and MCP Systems

Most "AI security" certs still treat the model as the perimeter. Agents change that. C-AgAIPen tests whether you can exploit the agent, its tools, and the workflows that connect them.

🤖

Live Agentic Systems

Exploit running agent stacks over VPN. Tool abuse, indirect prompt injection through retrieved content, multi-agent privilege escalation. Real systems, real findings.

⚡

Instant Results

Automated grading delivers your outcome the moment you submit. No waiting days for grading like the OffSec or EC-Council process.

💷

$84, Not $999+

We are a certifying body, not a training provider. You prepare your way; you pay only for the certification itself.

📅

Take It On Demand

Start your 4-hour window whenever you are ready. No scheduled exam dates, no waitlists, no time zones to fight.

🔁

Free Retake

One free retake is included. OffSec, EC-Council, and TCM do not include this. Sit again at no extra cost if you fall short.

How C-AgAIPen Compares

TCM's PAPA is the only other certification specifically built for agentic AI. The rest test broader AI/ML security. All carry very different price tags.

How to Prepare

From Buy to Certified in 3 to 5 Weeks

We don't bundle a $1,000 course because we don't need to. Here is the prep path most working pentesters use, with free and low-cost resources tuned for agentic AI.

1Read the foundations

Free, 6 to 8 hours of focused reading. Agentic systems build on LLMs; you need both.

  • OWASP Agentic AI Top 10 (free, primary reference)
  • OWASP LLM Top 10 (free, foundational)
  • MITRE ATLAS adversarial techniques matrix (free)
  • Anthropic Model Context Protocol (MCP) specification (free)
  • Google's Secure AI Framework (SAIF) overview (free)

2Get hands on with free labs

Practical exploitation in safe environments. Most candidates spend the bulk of their prep time here.

  • Lakera Gandalf (prompt injection, foundation)
  • PortSwigger Web Security Academy: LLM attacks (free)
  • HackTheBox AI Red Teamer free intro modules
  • Build your own agent stack in LangChain or AutoGen and attack it

3Practise the workflow

Make sure you can move fast under a 4-hour clock. Agentic chains can be deep; speed matters.

  • Build an agent exploitation checklist (tools, memory, workflows, RAG)
  • Practise writing concise findings in markdown
  • Time yourself on 60-minute mini exercises

4Optional: paid deep dives

Only if you want them. None are required to pass C-AgAIPen.

  • HackTheBox Academy AI Red Teamer path (paid)
  • TCM Academy AI 100 + AI Hacking 101
  • Books: "The Developer's Playbook for Large Language Model Security" (Steve Wilson)
Working pentesters typically prepare in 3 to 4 weeks. AI engineers moving into security usually need 5 to 8 weeks.

Candidate Reviews

What AI Security Pofessionals Say

★★★★★
"This certification moves beyond conventional pentesting and into environments where AI systems actively make decisions. The labs required understanding how these systems process input and expose unintended behaviours, with a strong emphasis on prompt injection, agent manipulation, and behaviour-based exploitation."

"I’m proud to share that I have successfully passed the Certified Agentic AI Pentester (C-AgAIPen) certification from SecOps Group with Honors. It was a great experience exploring the intersection of AI and offensive security through this exam. The assessment was well-designed, practical, and truly enjoyable."

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does C-AgAIPen compare to TCM PAPA, the other agentic AI certification?
TCM PAPA and C-AgAIPen are the two certifications specifically built around agentic AI exploitation. PAPA is $249 and bundles two AI courses with a 2-day exam plus 2-day report. C-AgAIPen is $84 with code 75-OFF, runs as a focused 4-hour practical, includes one free retake, and grades instantly. We don't bundle training because most working pentesters prefer to self-prepare. Both certs test real agent stack exploitation; you choose based on whether you want bundled courses or just the validation.
What does the C-AgAIPen exam actually involve?
A 4-hour, fully remote, hands-on practical across 17 modules. You connect via VPN to a lab containing real agent stacks, MCP servers, and multi-agent workflows. You exploit them across tool abuse, indirect prompt injection through retrieved content, agent memory poisoning, multi-agent privilege escalation, workflow hijacking, and RAG pipeline attacks. You submit findings, and the system grades automatically with instant results.
How is this different from C-AI/MLPen?
C-AI/MLPen is our broader AI/ML pentest cert covering prompt injection, LLM exploitation, model theft, and AI red teaming on standalone models. C-AgAIPen focuses on agentic systems: autonomous agents, MCP tool calling, multi-agent orchestration, and the workflows that connect them. If you work primarily with LLMs and AI APIs, take C-AI/MLPen. If you work with agents, agent frameworks like LangChain or AutoGen, or MCP servers, take C-AgAIPen.
I don't have a training course. How do I prepare?
See the "How to Prepare" section above. Most working pentesters self-prepare in 3 to 4 weeks using free resources: OWASP Agentic AI Top 10, OWASP LLM Top 10, MITRE ATLAS, the Anthropic MCP specification, Lakera Gandalf, PortSwigger's LLM attack labs, and HackTheBox AI free intro modules. Building your own agent stack in LangChain or AutoGen and attacking it is the single best prep activity.
How does the 75-OFF discount code work?
Apply code 75-OFF at checkout to drop the price from $334 to $84, a $250 saving. The code is permanent and applies to every certification in our catalogue, including C-AgAIPen.
What happens if I fail?
Every professional certification, C-AgAIPen included, ships with one free retake. If you don't pass the first time, sit it again at no extra cost. OffSec, EC-Council, and TCM do not include a free retake.
Will employers recognise this certification?
C-AgAIPen is issued by The SecOps Group, a CREST-accredited organisation. Our certifications are used by security teams at Oracle and KPMG for assessing and recruiting pentesters. Agentic AI security is a fast-growing specialisation in 2026 as enterprises deploy production agent systems. The certificate carries a unique verification ID that any employer can validate.
How soon can I take it?
As soon as you're ready. There are no scheduled exam dates. Buy the certification, prepare on your own timeline, then launch your 4-hour window when you choose. Available 24/7.
