DevSecOps Engineer

DevSecOps integrates ‘Development’, ‘Security’, and ‘Operations’ into a unified methodology, ensuring security is embedded throughout the software development lifecycle. This approach is essential for enhancing collaboration, automating security checks, and delivering secure software efficiently. A DevSecOps Engineer plays a key role in implementing security best practices, managing continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, and securing IT infrastructure from potential threats.

This course provides a structured approach to integrating security into the DevOps lifecycle. Participants will explore secure software development, automated security testing, and infrastructure protection. The curriculum covers essential topics like CI/CD security, container security, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

Through hands-on exercises, learners will gain practical experience with industry-standard tools such as Jenkins, GitHub, SonarQube, Docker, and Kubernetes. The course is designed for IT professionals, developers, security engineers, and system administrators looking to enhance their skills in secure software delivery.

Secure Agile Development – Integrate security practices within Agile workflows, ensuring code is developed with security in mind from the start.

Secure CI/CD Pipelines – Implement security checks in Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) processes to detect vulnerabilities early.

Automation & Orchestration – Automate security testing, compliance checks, and infrastructure security to reduce risks and manual errors.

Version Control & Code Security – Use GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket with security scanning tools to track changes and identify security flaws.

Container Security – Secure containerized applications using tools like Docker Bench for Security, Aqua Security, and Kubernetes security best practices.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Security – Apply security controls in Terraform, Ansible, and CloudFormation to protect cloud infrastructure.

Threat Modelling & Risk Assessment – Identify potential security threats early in the development lifecycle.

Programming & Scripting – Proficiency in languages like Python, Bash, or Go to automate security tasks and integrate security tools.

This course provides an in-depth understanding of integrating security within DevOps processes. Participants will learn how to build secure CI/CD pipelines, automate security testing, and implement security best practices for cloud and containerised applications.

By the end, learners will have a practical understanding of securing software development, improving security automation, and aligning DevSecOps principles with business needs.
