Push-based multi-factor authentication (MFA) trades a typed code for a single tap, and that convenience is exactly what an MFA fatigue or push bombing attack exploits: an attacker who already holds a valid password sends repeated approval prompts until habit, annoyance, or a fabricated internal information technology (IT) support call produces one accidental approval. You will learn the mechanism and its impersonation variant, the technical fixes of number matching, rate limiting and hardware security keys, the organisational habits of reporting and detection, and the immediate incident response sequence once an attempt is suspected. Every scenario in this course is explicitly hypothetical.
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.
