March 2026 Update - Do job tasks. Get instructor feedback. Build proof.

Hello there! π
Last month we told you what's coming. This month we built a ton of it out.
Guardian Foundry shipped features every single week in February. We ran our first monthly livestream. We migrated an entire course into the platform. And over 300 of you joined the waitlist.
Letβs jump in.
Level Effect Live: Our First Monthly Dev Stream
We walked through platform features, reviewed real job task submissions, and built out stat cards with the community.
If you missed it, the full recording is up:
This is monthly now. Last Thursday of every month. Show up, ask questions, and see what you're getting access to. Next one is the last Thursday in March.
What You'll Have Access To
Over 300 on the waitlist! π³
Here's what went live in a single month:
1-on-1 Instructor Report Submissions - Write actual incident reports inside the platform. IOC extraction, executive summaries, technical analysis, remediations. Submit your work. Get real feedback from a real instructor. Build proof you can do the job.
Quest System - Multi-step guided training paths that walk you through real progression. Follow the quest, earn XP, level up.
Hall of Records - Every live class and event recorded and waiting for you. Miss a session? It's there.
Discord Integration - Link your Discord account directly from your profile. You're connected the moment you activate to the private community and live classes.
Skill Sheet β NICE Framework - Everything you complete maps to KSTs (Knowledge, Skills, Tasks) in the field. Your skills have industry-standard receipts.
Enterprise Training - Full checkout flow for team accounts, 3 to 500 seats. If your company wants to get a team trained up, the infrastructure is ready. Metrics, analytics, and all.
In-App Notifications - Dashboard bell, unread badges, email notifications, XP alerts. You'll always know when you've earned something or when something needs your attention.
And that's just the highlights. Dozens of fixes and polish on top of all this. The platform keeps growing before you even get in.

DE&TH Course Moving to Guardian Foundry βοΈ
Big update for Detection Engineering & Threat Hunting students.
The remaining DE&TH course challenges are being migrated into Guardian Foundry. The 10-step challenge track is built and DE&TH will be the premier launch title when the platform goes live.
Jonny Johnson (Jonathan Johnson) is taking over as lead instructor for DE&TH content and community support. He created and delivered the Alerts to Adversaries detection engineering course and is deeply experienced in this space.
All current DE&TH students will be enrolled into the new platform at no cost. No subscription required. You paid for the course with graded challenges included, and you're getting exactly that.
We're targeting early April for platform launch. The DE1 certification exam will follow shortly after.
Sneak peak below:

Tickets are live, including a limited Founding Guardian tier. Lifetime tickets give you access to workshop content forever. That's the "never ends" part.
