AI is being deployed faster than it can be secured. Production agents ship with exposed tools, poisoned retrievals, and exploitable reasoning chains, and most engineers don't know until they're breached.
Ryvane Academy exists to fix that. We teach AI security the way it's actually broken in the wild: through interactive courses, hands-on labs that simulate real agents, and certifications that prove someone can exploit and defend a production system.
We're building the place where AI security stops being a checklist and starts being a skill.
Self-paced, interactive courses covering prompt injection, RAG exploitation, MCP server security, agent attacks and more.
Hands-on labs with live infrastructure, break real pipelines, then lock them down.
A graded AI Security Certification path that proves capability, not memorization.
Open-source tools and field research that advance the whole community.
Learn AI Security the way, it's actually practiced.
