TL;DR: Adversary Intelligence: LLM Tradecraft is a new on-demand course covering how modern LLMs and agentic systems work, how they can be exploited, and how to secure them in practice. In July of this year, we released our first on-demand courses as part of the SpecterOps Tradecraft Academy. Today, we’re excited to introduce our new course for the academy developed in partnership with OpenAI: Adversary Intelligence: LLM Tradecraft.
