A practical course on deception technology as a detection layer for attackers who already have some level of access: what honeytokens, honeypots, honeynets, decoy documents, and decoy credentials are, why they carry an unusually low false-positive rate when properly isolated and monitored, how to place them where a realistic attacker's exploration, escalation, and lateral movement will actually intersect with them, and how to integrate the alerts they produce into an existing incident response process without treating deception as a replacement for prevention.
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.
