Beyond the lessons
Assess, practise, pass the proof
Reading a lesson confirms nothing. A skill is confirmed by a passed quiz, practised in a guided lab, and put to the test by a challenge or a mission; an imported lab result is not verified by the site.
Assess yourself
7 quizzes
At the end of the lessons: passed at 70%, they confirm the skill.
Practice

No guided lab practices it yet.
Proof
2 practical proofs
- V2, blocking secret scanning and SAST: two gates, and the injection fixed
- V3, dependency scanning and triage: fix what can be fixed, date what cannot
A practical proof is a challenge, a capstone or a declared lab.
Used by the missions “Harden the delivery chain”, “Handle a vulnerability from detection to fix”, which have their proof.
