A hands-on track for application developers who want security to fit inside the work they already do: opening pull requests, reviewing diffs, installing packages and pushing code. You will learn how to read a finding in thirty seconds, why reachability shrinks your list, how to review and merge a Griffin fix PR, and how pre-push secrets hooks, install-time package checks and Gold hardened packages stop problems before they land.
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.
