Awarded for completing API Security Testing with Safeguard and passing its exam, demonstrating the ability to import API definitions, hold an authenticated session, and identify, evidence and report BOLA, BFLA, authentication, mass assignment and data exposure findings against the OWASP API Top 10.
Certificates are designed to be checked, not just displayed.
The credential is valid for 12 months from issue. Its public page states the expiry date, and renewing means passing the current exam again — so the credential always reflects the current material.
