GitHub Advanced Security (GH-500) training and certification exam preparation centre
Among DevOps's certifications, GitHub Advanced Security (GH-500) is the one that covers hardening systems, spotting attacks and responding to them. DevOps certifies working knowledge of its own platform and tooling, tested against the behaviour of the shipping product.
This is a senior credential. It assumes real production experience and tests judgement more than recall. People usually sit it to put a formal stamp on work they already do: hardening systems, spotting attacks and responding to them.
Training combines live teaching with attack and defence scenarios built from the DevOps objective list, so the exam covers ground you have already worked through. Preparation leans on scenario work, because at this level the exam rewards judgement over memorisation.
The listed fee is USD 150; booked through WebAsha it is USD 99, a 10% saving. DevOps sets the fee and it varies by region, so we confirm the current amount before you pay.
Exam length, question count, passing score and validity are set by DevOps and change between revisions, so confirm the current details on the official exam page before booking. Our advisors verify them with you when the voucher is issued.
