Secure AI Builder Bootcamp · Founding Cohort

Build a Real AI Agent. Then Learn to Break It.

3 weeks, hands-on, in your own AWS sandbox. You'll ship a working AI agent — and the security instincts most AI builders never develop — taught by 25 years of enterprise cybersecurity experience, not a slide deck.

📅 Next Cohort: Aug 8, 2026 👥 Capped at 15 Builders ⏱ 3 Weeks

Everyone's Building With AI.
Almost Nobody's Securing It.

Most AI courses teach you to prompt. None of them teach you what happens when your agent leaks a secret, gets prompt-injected, or ships a vulnerability straight to production. Founders and builders are shipping AI features every day without knowing the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs exists — let alone how to defend against it. This bootcamp closes that gap before it becomes your launch story.

Built for Builders, Not Bystanders

You don't need to be a security professional. You need to be done watching from the sidelines.

🚀

The Aspiring Founder

You're building an AI feature into your product and you don't want a security incident to be your launch story.

💼

The Business Owner Already Using AI

You've adopted the tools but have no idea what you've exposed. Time to close the gap between usage and understanding.

🛠️

The Builder Who Wants Proof

You want a working agent and real documentation you can show an employer or client — not another certificate that means nothing.

🔒

The Security Professional

You already know the theory. You want to learn to build secure AI agents the only way that sticks — by building one and then attacking it yourself.

Not Notes. A Working System.

By Demo Day, you'll have shipped something real — and the documentation to prove it.

A working, secured AI agent live in your own GitHub repo
Real AWS sandbox experience — Terraform, secrets management, cost monitoring
A reusable prompt library you'll use on every project after this
Hands-on OWASP Top 10 for LLMs — applied to code you wrote, not slides
A completed threat model and red-team exercise against your own agent
Security architecture docs + a one-page Security Case Study you can show an employer or client
A GitHub + dev environment workflow that doesn't disappear when the bootcamp ends
A live Demo Day presentation of what you built

3 Weeks. Three Milestones.

Three focused weeks, each one ending in something real built, broken, or defended. Click a week to see what's inside.

WK 1

Foundations, Secure Sandbox & Your First Agent

  • AI literacy: prompting, agents, LLMs vs SLMs, public vs private models
  • Secrets management deep dive — storage, rotation, monitoring, protection
  • Secure prompting and prompt injection defense basics
  • One-click Terraform sandbox on your own AWS account, with cost monitoring built in
  • Build a working AI agent with tools & memory
  • Set up your reusable prompt library, IDE, and GitHub repo
WK 2

Real Project & Red Team Your Own Agent

  • Choose and build a practical agent: Research Assistant, Ticket Analyzer, or Knowledge Manager
  • Threat model your own agent before anyone else touches it
  • OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, applied — prompt injection, data poisoning, insecure output handling
  • Intentionally attack your own agent, then apply the fixes
  • Observability and logging basics so you can see what actually happened
WK 3

Security Architecture, Polish & Demo Day

  • Finalize and polish your agent for presentation
  • Write your security architecture documentation and Threat Log
  • Produce a one-page Security Case Study you can show employers or clients
  • Live Demo Day — present what you built to the cohort
  • Safe teardown of your AWS sandbox once you're done showing it off

Taught by Someone Who's Actually Done It

👽

Jared Little

Founder, Alien Brain Trust · 25+ Years Enterprise Cybersecurity & IAM

Jared has spent 25+ years in enterprise cybersecurity, identity, and privileged access management at a large financial institution in a heavily regulated industry, leading technology transformation from the inside. This bootcamp is built on one hard-won insight: you cannot develop AI threat intuition from a certification or a whitepaper. You develop it by building real integrations, attacking them in a controlled environment, and seeing exactly what breaks. That's what you'll do here.

Reserve Your Founding Seat

Founding Member pricing ($497) is capped at 15 seats and closes permanently once they're gone. Next cohort starts: August 8, 2026.

Before You Reserve a Seat

Do I need to know how to code?

Basic comfort in a terminal helps, but you don't need to be a software engineer. If you can follow instructions and aren't afraid to break things on purpose, you're ready.

What if I can't make the live sessions?

Sessions are recorded, but this bootcamp is built around building in real time with the group. There are 5 live sessions total — 3 Saturdays at 9:00 AM ET and 2 Wednesday evenings at 8:00 PM ET (see the schedule in the Format section above) — so check those against your calendar before you enroll. Plan to attend live if you can — that's where most of the value happens.

What will the AWS sandbox cost me?

You'll spin up your own small sandbox using the Terraform config we provide. Cost monitoring and alerts are part of Week 1 setup, so nothing surprises you.

What if I'm not done by Demo Day?

This is your project, your repo, your timeline. Demo Day is a milestone, not a deadline — you keep everything and keep building after the bootcamp ends.

I'm a recent cybersecurity grad — is there a discount?

Yes. If you graduated within the last 2 years, you qualify for a standing $297 rate. Email info@alienbraintrust.ai to confirm eligibility before you check out.

I still have questions — can I ask before I enroll?

Always. Email info@alienbraintrust.ai before you reserve a seat and we'll talk it through first.
