A practical guide to sharing threat intelligence with peer organisations and participating in an Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC) or similar community. You will learn what actually moves through a sharing relationship, why the free rider problem degrades a community's value and what reciprocity norms sustain it, what is safe to share versus what creates legal or competitive exposure, how to anonymise and sanitise material before it leaves the organisation, how to evaluate whether a feed or community is actually improving detection outcomes, and the organisational commitment sharing realistically requires.
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.
