Coming soon

The exam is a build.

Ship working defensive tooling, survive an attack on it, then defend the design. Coming soon. The reference library is public now.

How it is graded

Three parts

  1. 01

    Build under time pressure

    Machine graded. Pass or fail.

    72 hours. A specification and a fresh lab. Ship working defensive tooling that meets stated functional requirements.

  2. 02

    Adversarial validation

    Machine graded. Pass or fail.

    The harness attacks what you built with cases you have not seen, including the failure modes the curriculum teaches.

  3. 03

    Design defense

    Human graded against a published rubric.

    Only candidates who clear the first two parts. A written architectural derivation, then thirty minutes defending the design with the code on screen.

Two credentials

Coming soon

  • Defensive Engineer

    Build a working defensive stack and show that it detects real attacks.

  • Defense Architect

    Derive and build defensive architecture that survives losing the center. Requires the first credential.
