I was invited by The SecOps Group (Creators of PentestingExams.com) to beta test C-AGIPen (Certified Agentic AI Pentester), gaining early access to a unique pentesting environment built around AI-enabled applications.
It was a genuinely brain storming experience.
What stood out to me is how this certification moves beyond conventional pentesting approaches and dives into security challenges in environments where AI systems are actively involved. Instead of focusing only on classic vulnerabilities, the labs required a deeper understanding of how these systems process input, make decisions, and expose unintended behaviors.
🔍 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀:
🔹 Realistic scenarios built around AI-integrated attack surfaces
🔹 Strong emphasis on prompt injection, agent manipulation, and controlled data exfiltration paths
🔹 A shift towards behavior-based exploitation instead of just traditional vulnerabilities
🔹 Labs that challenge how we define trust in AI systems.

𝘼 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩? 🤔
Yes, a certified agentic AI pentester. Nowadays agents are appearing everywhere. You talk with a support chat -> AI agent ; You call your bank -> AI agent ; You apply for a job -> AI agent ; and so on! The SecOps Group (Creators of PentestingExams.com) created an AWESOME exam to test your agentic AI hacking skills!
𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙭𝙖𝙢 📖
I had the opportunity to try this exam out as a beta tester. It releases on the 20th of April and costs £50 (With the current 80% of voucher AGENTIC-80). 🕑 You get 4 hours to solve 8 different challenges. All challenges involve an AI agent that is there to assist users in some task on the site. Your goal is to bypass security features, achieve RCE, steal files, ... through these AI agents. During the exam, you can use any resources to solve it, so keep your notes on hand.
I had an amazing time taking this exam. On my first try, I solved 6/8 challenges and I knew that immediately needed to use my second exam attempt to get all challenges solved!

I’m proud to share that I have successfully passed the Certified Agentic AI Pentester (C-AgAIPen) certification from SecOps Group with Honors.
It was a great experience exploring the intersection of AI and offensive security through this exam. The assessment was well-designed, practical, and truly enjoyable.
I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to Sumit Siddharth for giving me the opportunity to take this exam.
Looking forward to applying these concepts further in real-world scenarios 🚀

Giving a shout-out to Sumit Siddharth and his team at The SecOps Group (Creators of PentestingExams.com).
I successfully passed their new Agentic AI Penetration Tester exam. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to learn how to creatively exploit agents to expose data.
Who should take the exam?
Certified Agentic AI Pentester (C-AgAIPen) is intended to be taken by pentesters, application security architects, SOC analysts, red and blue team members, AI/ML engineers, AI product security professionals, and any AI security enthusiast who wants to evaluate and advance their knowledge in securing Agentic AI systems.
What is the format of the exam?
Certified Agentic AI Pentester (C-AgAIPen) is an intense 4-hour practical exam. It requires candidates to solve a number of challenges, identify and exploit various vulnerabilities, and obtain flags. The exam can be taken online, anytime (on-demand), and from anywhere. Candidates will need to connect to the exam VPN server to access the vulnerable Agentic AI application.
What is the pass criteria for the exam?
The pass criteria are as follows:
- Candidates scoring over 60% marks will be deemed to have successfully passed the exam.
- Candidates scoring over 75% marks will be deemed to have passed with merit.
What is the experience needed to take the exam?
This is an intermediate-level exam. Candidates should have prior knowledge and experience in AI/ML and Agentic AI application pentesting. They should have a solid understanding of common application security topics, including the OWASP Top 10 for LLM applications, prompt injection attacks, insecure output handling, and common security misconfigurations, as well as the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications 2026: Agent Goal Hijack, Tool Misuse & Exploitation, Identity & Privilege Abuse, Agentic Supply Chain Vulnerabilities, Unexpected Code Execution (RCE), Memory & Context Poisoning, Insecure Inter-Agent Communication, Cascading Failures, Human-Agent Trust Exploitation, and Rogue Agents.
Candidates should be able to demonstrate practical knowledge by identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in real-world Agentic AI scenarios.
Note: As this is an intermediate-level exam, a minimum of two years of professional pentesting experience is recommended.
What will the candidates get?
On completing the exam, each candidate will receive:
- A certificate with their pass/fail and merit status.
- The certificate will contain a certificate number, which can be used by anyone to validate the certificate.
What is the exam retake policy?
Candidates, who fail the exam, are allowed 1 free exam retake within the exam fees.
What are the benefits of this exam?
The exam allows candidates to demonstrate their expertise in Agentic AI security and application pentesting, including assessing multi-agent systems, tool integrations, and autonomous decision-making workflows. Achieving this certification validates practical, hands-on skills aligned with modern Agentic AI threats and helps professionals advance their careers in AI security, red teaming, and AI governance roles.

What is the difference between C-AgAIPen and C-AI/MLPen?
C-AgAIPen:
The Certified Agentic AI Pentester exam focuses on security testing of autonomous AI agents that can plan, reason, and execute multi-step actions. It emphasizes vulnerabilities in agent workflows, tool integrations, memory handling, and decision-making logic. Candidates are expected to assess risks such as task manipulation, tool abuse, goal hijacking, and chained prompt attacks across agent pipelines, simulating real-world agentic system exploitation.
C-AI/MLPen:
The Certified AI/ML Pentester exam focuses on identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in machine learning models and large language model (LLM) applications. It covers areas such as prompt injection, data leakage, model misconfigurations, and OWASP Top 10 for LLMs. The exam is practical and scenario-based, requiring candidates to interact with AI systems, analyze their behavior, and extract sensitive information or bypass security controls in a controlled lab environment.
Note: It is recommended to attempt the Certified AI/ML Pentester exam first to build a strong foundation in AI security concepts before progressing to the more advanced Certified Agentic AI Pentester exam.
