DevSecOps

Course Overview

DevSecOps is a hands‑on, security‑first course that teaches learners how to integrate security practices into every stage of the software development lifecycle. The course covers secure coding, automated security testing, vulnerability scanning, secrets management, container security, cloud security, and compliance automation. Learners gain practical experience embedding security into CI/CD pipelines using tools like SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanners, and policy‑as‑code frameworks.

Target Audience

This course is ideal for:

• DevOps engineers expanding into security automation

• Security engineers working with development and cloud teams

• Software developers adopting secure‑by‑design practices

• Cloud engineers responsible for secure deployments

• Teams implementing shift‑left security and compliance automation

Course Outcomes

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

• Understand DevSecOps principles: shift‑left, automation, continuous security

• Integrate security checks into CI/CD pipelines

• Use SAST (Static Application Security Testing) tools to detect code vulnerabilities

• Use DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) for runtime security validation

• Perform SCA (Software Composition Analysis) to detect vulnerable dependencies

• Secure containers using image scanning, runtime policies, and best practices

• Implement secrets management using vaults and cloud‑native tools

• Apply Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security using policy‑as‑code frameworks

• Build secure cloud architectures aligned with AWS, Azure, and GCP best practices

• Automate compliance checks and enforce security baselines

• Monitor, detect, and respond to security events in DevOps environments
