A vendor neutral engineering course on containing agents that act rather than answer: computing the containment budget that says what an agent can do in its worst hour, giving each agent its own identity and revocable short lived credentials, bounding tools by argument and resource rather than by name, sandboxing execution and denying egress by default, allocating human approval where consequence justifies it and measuring the decay when it turns into a rubber stamp, and building pause, stop and kill paths that have been drilled. Every control is stated with its failure mode and the signal that shows it failing.
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.
