Build real AI agents. Then intentionally break them. 3 weeks of hands-on security training in your own AWS sandbox — with red-teaming, secrets management, and OWASP Top 10 for LLMs baked in from day one.
About Us
The security industry is transitioning to AI — fast. The professionals who thrive will be the ones who built with it, not just read about it.
Alien Brain Trust is a hands-on AI training company built specifically for security professionals. We exist to close the gap between what the security industry teaches and what the AI era actually requires.
Founded by Jared Little — 25+ years in enterprise cybersecurity, IAM, and PAM across heavily regulated industries, leading technology transformation from the inside — ABT 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 the entire philosophy behind everything we build. Hands-on over lecture. Real AWS infrastructure over slide decks. Red-teaming your own work over passive consumption. Security professionals who go through our programs leave with working code, real credentials management experience, and pattern recognition that only comes from having done it.
Every lesson is framed around what can go wrong — and how to build so it doesn’t.
Real AWS sandboxes, real integrations, real red-teaming. No simulated environments.
Curriculum designed around the AI threats and skills that matter right now, not in five years.
25+ years of enterprise security experience — not theory. Every concept comes from production.
