SpecterOps introduced a new security training module today to strengthen enterprise defenses. The cybersecurity company developed this Tradecraft Academy program in strategic partnership with OpenAI. Specifically, the course teaches security professionals how to build, evaluate, and protect agentic systems. Furthermore, participants learn practical defensive skills through real-world threat modeling and hands-on testing workflows. Modern cybersecurity teams require updated Tradecraft techniques as organizations deploy autonomous AI agents across business networks. Consequently, the curriculum offers direct access to Codex alongside the newest OpenAI frontier models.
As businesses integrate artificial intelligence tools, security teams must protect complex new digital identities. Therefore, mastering advanced Tradecraft principles helps engineers prevent unauthorized system access and structural vulnerabilities.
“Building practical experience is essential to understanding how AI can be applied effectively in cybersecurity,” said Wunan Li, Global Cyber Partnerships, OpenAI. “Built by SpecterOps’ AI threat researchers using the latest OpenAI models, Adversary Intelligence: LLM Tradecraft gives security practitioners the skills and understanding they need to proactively manage changing enterprise environments.”
Hands-On Adversary Intelligence and Offensive Security Labs
The comprehensive training package delivers eight hours of focused, interactive educational content. Moreover, the instructors integrate an offensive Tradecraft perspective throughout all course modules and technical exercises.
“Increasingly, security practitioners are being asked to work with LLMs and agentic systems, but using these technologies effectively requires understanding how they work, where they can fail, and how an adversary might approach them,” said Andrew Chiles, VP of Tradecraft at SpecterOps. “The gap between using AI and understanding it can create security blind spots. We built the Adversary Intelligence: LLM Tradecraft course to close that gap through hands-on experience, giving practitioners the foundation to evaluate these systems critically and make informed decisions to build, evaluate, and secure them.”
Through this specialized curriculum, engineers learn to analyze complex AI architecture limitations. Additionally, students study prompt injections, jailbreak methods, and critical infrastructure vulnerabilities. The hands-on labs also cover reverse engineering and threat detection strategies. Consequently, security professionals obtain Tradecraft intelligence that enables them to secure enterprise software resources properly.
Comprehensive Tradecraft Academy Offerings and Live Event Details
SpecterOps offers both live and on-demand training to cybersecurity professionals worldwide. Beyond its AI offerings, the platform provides specialized courses in Attack Path Management using BloodHound, as well as training on securing software supply chains and testing Kubernetes environments.
The next live event, Specter Bash, takes place October 5–8, 2026, in Denver, Colorado. Enrollment for the new AI security course is open today, with course materials releasing on October 15, 2026. Once unlocked, students receive 30 days of full platform access to complete their hands-on lab exercises.
