Secure code needs secure systems
When we build houses, we put a lot of time and effort into getting the foundations right. Being in the middle of installing doors and windows when you realize the foundations need work would be a real pain — not to mention the cost.
The same goes for cyber security, and that’s why we need to secure our systems as well as our code.
By focusing on architecture, how systems are implemented, and how they work together, SafeStack involves your whole development team.
We also teach essential skills like threat assessment and security testing, so your team can build shared knowledge and skills, collaborating early and often to create a stronger and more sustainable security culture.

Verified credentials
You work hard on your training and you should be recognized for that.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Credly to give you credentials that show what you’ve achieved. These are also known as open badges and are included as part of your SafeStack membership.
You don’t need to do anything except claim them once we issue them to you. Easy!
Once you’ve claimed your credentials, you can use them in email signatures or digital CVs, as well as on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter.
Each digital image includes verified metadata that describes the qualifications you’ve earned and what you’ve done to earn them.

Frequently asked questions about credentials
What’s an open badge?
Open badges are web-enabled versions of a credential, certification, or learning outcome which can be verified in real-time, online.
Find out more on the Open Badges website.
How does my certification get displayed as a badge?
We’ve partnered with Credly to translate the learning outcomes you’ve demonstrated into a badge, which is issued and managed through their platform.
The technology Credly uses is based on the Open Badge Standards maintained by IMS Global. This means you can manage, share, and verify your competencies digitally.
What are the benefits of a badge?
Representing your skills as a badge gives you a way to share your abilities online in a way that’s simple, trusted, and can be easily verified in real-time.
Badges provide employers and peers concrete evidence of what you did to earn your credential and what you’re now capable of.
The Credly platform also offers labor market insights based on your skills, and you can search and apply for job opportunities directly through the platform.
Who is Credly?
Credly is the end-to-end solution for issuing and managing digital credentials. Credly works with credible organizations to provide digital credentials to individuals, worldwide.
How will I know if I’ve earned a badge?
You’ll get an email notification from Credly with instructions for claiming your badge and setting up your account.
What if I don’t want my badge to be public?
You can easily configure your privacy settings in the Credly platform. You’re in complete control of the information about yourself that is made public.
Is there a fee to use the Credly platform?
Nope! This is a service we provide to you at no cost.
What’s to keep someone else from copying my badge and using it?
While badges are simply digital image files, they’re uniquely linked to data hosted on the Credly platform. This link to verified data makes them more reliable and secure than a paper-based certificate. It also cuts out the possibility of anyone claiming your credential and your associated
identity.
Where and how can I share my badge through the Credly platform?
You can share your badge directly from the Credly platform to LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook; over email; or embedded in a website or your email signature.
What are labor market insights and how can I access them through the Credly platform?
Labour market insights are pulled from live job listings.
Based on your skills, you can learn which employers are hiring, what job titles you might be qualified for, salary ranges, and more. Search active job listings and even apply for them with just a few clicks through the Credly platform.
You can access the labor market insights from your badge details page by clicking on Related Jobs, or by clicking on the skill tags assigned to your badge.
Can I export badges issued through the Credly platform to other badge-storing platforms?
Yes, you can download your badge from the Share Badge page. Your downloaded badge contains Open Badge Infrastructure (OBI) compliant metadata embedded into the image. This means you can store your badge on other OBI-compliant badge sites, like the Mozilla backpack.
Can I import badges issued from other platforms into Credly platform?
Not at this time.
