How to make engineers self sufficient on security questions when there is nobody to answer them one at a time. Covers cataloguing what developers actually ask, choosing between a document, a template, a dashboard and a bot, designing defaults so the secure choice is the default rather than the informed one, self service scanning and what to do with the result, suppression and exception records, a request path that needs no meeting, the cases where a human must be involved, and measuring deflection without mistaking silence for success.
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.
