DevSecOps Training — Secure SDLC, Pipeline Security & Compliance Automation

Who Should Attend

This program is for DevOps engineers who need to integrate security into their pipelines and security engineers who need to automate. If you’re doing security reviews manually, discovering vulnerabilities in production, or treating compliance as an annual fire drill — this course teaches you to shift security left. CISOs and security directors who want to understand DevSecOps implementation will find the architecture and governance modules valuable.

Learning Outcomes

• Integrate SAST, DAST, and SCA tools into CI/CD pipeline stages with automated quality gates
• Implement container image scanning and signing (Trivy, Cosign) with admission control
• Deploy secrets management with HashiCorp Vault — dynamic secrets, rotation, audit
• Write policy-as-code with Open Policy Agent (OPA) and enforce at deploy time
• Automate compliance evidence generation from pipeline metadata
• Configure runtime security monitoring with Falco
• Design zero-trust delivery pipelines — every stage authenticated, every artifact verified

Course Modules

1. DevSecOps Fundamentals — Shift-left security. Security in the SDLC. OWASP Top 10. Threat modeling for pipelines.
2. SAST — Static Analysis — SonarQube, Semgrep. Custom rules. Quality gates. False positive management.
3. SCA — Dependency Security — Snyk, Dependabot. SBOM generation (Syft). License compliance. Vulnerability prioritization.
4. DAST — Dynamic Analysis — OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite. API security testing. Authenticated scanning. CI integration.
5. Container Security — Image scanning (Trivy, Grype). Distroless images. Image signing (Cosign). Admission control.
6. Secrets Management — HashiCorp Vault architecture. Dynamic secrets. Rotation. Audit logging. Kubernetes integration.
7. Policy-as-Code — OPA, Kyverno, Sentinel. Writing Rego policies. Enforcing at CI and deploy time. Drift detection.
8. Infrastructure Security — CIS benchmarks. Terraform security (tfsec, Checkov). Cloud security posture. IaC scanning.
9. Runtime Security — Falco rules. Anomaly detection. Threat detection in production. Incident response integration.
10. Compliance Automation — Evidence collection. Audit trails. PCI-DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA pipeline controls. Compliance dashboards.
11. Zero-Trust Architecture for Delivery — SPIFFE/SPIRE. mTLS. Workload identity. Every stage authenticated. Least privilege.
12. Capstone: Secure Pipeline — Build a complete secure CI/CD pipeline with SAST, SCA, container scanning, secrets, and compliance evidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does DevSecOps slow down pipelines? Done right, it accelerates delivery by catching vulnerabilities when they’re cheapest to fix — during development. SAST in the IDE and PR checks add seconds. The alternative is finding vulnerabilities in production, which costs 100× more to fix and damages trust.

What compliance frameworks does this course cover? We map controls to PCI-DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001. The automation patterns work with any framework that has technical controls. You’ll learn how to generate audit evidence automatically — not manually.
