What is OSAI+?
OSAI+ is OffSec's offensive AI certification from the AI-300 course, aimed at experienced red teamers and penetration testers who attack AI systems. It is tested with OffSec's signature rigor: a 24-hour, proctored hands-on red team engagement in a realistic, AI-enabled enterprise environment. Content covers attacking LLMs and multi-agent systems, RAG pipelines and embeddings, AI infrastructure, generative vulnerabilities, and the exploitation of ML models. Strength: OffSec's practical exams carry high credibility, and the format demands real proof of skill rather than a knowledge test. Limitation: the certification is new, market recognition of this specific title is still building, and the focus is narrowly offensive. Unlike the classic OSCP, OSAI+ is valid for only three years.
