A beginner-friendly reference course over Safeguard's whole scanner catalogue, first party engines and the seven bundled open source engines alike. You will learn to group engines by the question each one answers, what is in my software, is it exploitable, is it malicious, is my configuration wrong, is my identity or data exposed, what is happening at runtime, and what is exposed to the internet, so a wide catalogue becomes something you can actually navigate.
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.
