A beginner's guide to Safeguard's chat connectors, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord and Google Chat, built around acting on a finding rather than only reading about it. You will learn how to authorize a connector, route findings to the right channel or space at the right severity threshold, keep notification volume manageable so a channel stays trusted, and take core triage actions, acknowledge, assign, suppress, rescan, directly from a chat message.
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.
