Learn what static binary analysis reveals about a compiled APK, IPA or Windows binary before it ever reaches a user: embedded secrets, insecure storage, exported components, cleartext traffic, bundled third-party SDKs and a Software Bill of Materials extracted from the artifact itself. You will map findings to OWASP MASVS and MASTG, validate signing and provenance, spot packing and malware indicators, and turn a one-time scan into a release gate across every platform your organization ships.
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.
