Frequently asked
Is the Semgrep Academy Application Security Foundations course free?
Yes. The course and its certificate of completion are free. You need a free Semgrep Academy account to enroll.
Do I need to use the Semgrep product to take it?
No. Application Security Foundations Level 1 teaches vendor-neutral application security concepts, such as building an AppSec program, rather than Semgrep product usage.
How does this compare to the ISC2 CSSLP?
The CSSLP is a paid, experience-gated professional exam for secure software lifecycle work. Application Security Foundations Level 1 is a free introductory course with a certificate of completion and no exam, so it suits people building the basics before pursuing a paid credential.
