What CATP actually tests
Four pillars that separate practitioners who can handle AI threats from those who've only read about them.
CATP tests your ability to think like an attacker using AI — prompt injection, model poisoning, adversarial inputs. Real threat scenarios, not theoretical frameworks.
Each scenario puts you in the middle of an active AI-driven attack. You must triage, contain, and communicate — with the clock running and stakeholders watching.
Identify indicators of AI compromise, trace attack vectors through ML pipelines, and build detection logic that catches what traditional tools miss.
Third-party models, open-source weights, and AI APIs introduce new attack surfaces. CATP scenarios test your ability to assess and respond to upstream AI risk.
The four scenarios
Each scenario is a real-world AI threat situation. You write your response — the AI grades it.
Prompt Injection in Production
A customer-facing AI assistant is being manipulated via crafted inputs to exfiltrate internal data. Triage the attack, contain the blast radius, and brief your CISO.
Poisoned Training Data
Your fraud detection model begins approving transactions it should flag. Evidence points to a supply chain compromise of training data. Identify the vector and respond.
Adversarial Input Attack
A threat actor is feeding adversarial images to your computer vision pipeline to bypass physical access controls. Detect, contain, and harden.
AI-Assisted Phishing Campaign
A sophisticated spear-phishing campaign is using AI-generated voice clones and deepfake video to impersonate executives. Build your detection and response playbook.

CATP vs CAISO — which is right for you?
Many practitioners earn CATP first, then pursue CAISO as they move into leadership.
Add it to your LinkedIn profile
After passing, add "Certified AI Trust Practitioner (CATP)" under Licenses & Certifications on LinkedIn, with CISO Network as the issuing organization. Your credential ID links directly to your public verification page.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be a CISO Network member?
No. The CATP assessment is free and open to all security practitioners — no membership, no account, no payment required.
How is the assessment graded?
Your responses are evaluated by GPT-4o against a practitioner rubric covering threat identification, containment logic, communication clarity, and technical depth. You receive a score and detailed feedback within seconds.
What score do I need to pass?
A score of 70 or above earns your CATP certification. Scores below 70 receive detailed feedback and you may retake the assessment.
Is the certification verifiable?
Yes. Every CATP certificate includes a unique credential ID (CN-CATP-YYYY-XXXX) with a public verification page at cisonetwork.com/verify/[id].
Can I add this to my LinkedIn profile?
Absolutely. After passing, you'll receive instructions to add "Certified AI Trust Practitioner (CATP)" as a certification on LinkedIn, with CISO Network as the issuing organization.
What's the difference between CATP and CAISO?
CATP is the practitioner credential — it tests hands-on incident response and threat handling skills. CAISO is the executive credential for CISOs who need to govern AI security programs at the organizational level. Many practitioners earn CATP first, then pursue CAISO as they advance.
