A working guide to the twelve advisory feeds behind Safeguard's vulnerability and supply chain intelligence: where each feed's data comes from, its refresh cadence and its blind spots, and how Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures, GitHub Security Advisories and Open Source Vulnerabilities identifiers reconcile when they disagree. You will combine Known Exploited Vulnerabilities status, Exploit Prediction Scoring System probability and public exploit availability into one defensible priority order, then bring in supply chain trust and MITRE ATT&CK context through worked, cross-feed reconciliation scenarios.
Nothing. Every course, exam, and certificate on the catalog is free — including retakes. All you need is a free Safeguard account.
None. The flagship course, Safeguard Certified Practitioner, is a beginner-level course — basic familiarity with how software is built helps, but every exam question is answerable from the lessons themselves.
You can retake it after a 24-hour cooldown, as many times as you need. Retakes are free, and each attempt draws a fresh random set of questions.
The Safeguard Certified Practitioner credential is valid for 24 months from issue. The expiry date is printed on the certificate and shown live on its public verification page. Renewing means passing the current exam again.
