One in-person day, Saturday, December 5th. Take an idea, build it with AI, then red-team it — with secrets management and OWASP Top 10 for LLMs baked in from the start.
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.
Build Event
Saturday, December 5th. Build a real AI app, then intentionally break it. Hands-on, with security baked in from the start.
One day, hands-on. You’ll leave with a working AI app and the security instincts most AI builders never develop — taught by 25 years of enterprise cybersecurity experience, not a slide deck.
Building in the Open
Labs is how we document everything — the wins, the failures, and the fixes — as we build an AI education platform in public.
We believe the best learning happens in the open. Our Labs Journey blog documents every step of building an AI education platform — from infrastructure to course design. 140+ posts and counting.
Follow along as we build automated testing bots, design security frameworks, and tackle the real challenges of AI in production. Everything here is free, no signup required.
When you're ready to go deeper, the December 5th build event is the one-day, hands-on session where you build an AI app and then break it.
