A practical course on controlling outbound web traffic in a distributed workforce: what a secure web gateway (SWG) does and where category and reputation filtering falls short, how Transport Layer Security (TLS) inspection works and the trust and privacy trade-off it creates, what browser isolation protects against that filtering cannot, where data loss prevention (DLP) fits and overlaps with these other controls, and how to roll out and measure a program that users do not simply route around.
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.
