Awarded for completing The Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) Explained and passing its exam, demonstrating the ability to distinguish weakness from vulnerability, navigate CWE's views and abstraction levels, map real findings accurately, and cluster findings into systemic fixes.
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.
