About the Course
Organizations want software delivery they can prove is controlled, traceable, and secure, not just fast. In DevSecOps and Secure Software Delivery, that proof usually depends on capabilities such as threat modeling, repository protection, dependency inspection, build verification, deployment gating, and incident-ready release rollback. Frameworks and practices such as the OWASP SAMM, the OWASP Top 10, NIST SSDF, and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 provide the structure, but teams still need a working pipeline design that maps those ideas to real commits, builds, artifacts, and deployments.
This course turns scattered DevOps and application security knowledge into a secure delivery system you can apply across Git workflows, CI/CD pipelines, containers, and Infrastructure as Code. You will practice designing branch protection rules, secret detection workflows, SAST and SCA checkpoints, DAST validation, and container image scanning, while being introduced to Kubernetes admission controls and policy-as-code concepts at a practical overview level. What you will learn: how to assess a delivery pipeline, design security gates, and produce a secure software delivery plan that aligns with modern engineering workflows. You will work hands-on with pipeline controls, risk registers, and release checklists so you can reduce vulnerabilities without creating unnecessary friction for developers.
Real-world DevSecOps work is constrained by release deadlines, legacy tooling, hybrid cloud estates, and uneven security maturity across teams. This course is built for professionals who must deliver secure software under those conditions, with realistic exercises that fit common CI/CD environments rather than idealized lab-only setups. It also reflects current pressure from AI-generated code, secret sprawl, and the need for digital-first reporting to engineering leadership and risk stakeholders.
Target Audience
This course is designed for professionals who already work near software delivery, platform operations, or application security and need a practical way to make DevSecOps and Secure Software Delivery work in day-to-day engineering environments.
- DevOps Engineer responsible for secure CI/CD pipeline controls and release gates
- Application Security Engineer validating SAST, DAST, and SCA findings
- Software Developer implementing secure coding and repository hygiene practices
- Cloud Engineer securing deployment workflows, containers, and Infrastructure as Code
- Release Manager coordinating approvals, rollback readiness, and gated deployments
- Platform Engineer maintaining shared build systems and pipeline guardrails
- Security Operations Analyst tracking exposed secrets and software risk signals
- Site Reliability Engineer supporting secure change, monitoring, and rollback procedures
- DevSecOps Lead aligning engineering, security, and delivery metrics
- Engineering Manager reporting pipeline risk, control gaps, and remediation progress
Course Objectives
This course equips you to plan, execute, and measure DevSecOps and Secure Software Delivery initiatives that reduce release risk, strengthen pipeline controls, and support secure delivery governance.
- Assess a CI/CD pipeline using OWASP SAMM and NIST SSDF control checkpoints.
- Apply threat modeling with OWASP Threat Dragon to identify pipeline and application attack paths.
- Design secure GitHub or GitLab repository controls, including branch protection and secret detection.
- Build a secure CI/CD workflow with SAST, SCA, and DAST security gates.
- Calculate vulnerability remediation priorities from scan findings, severity ratings, and release impact.
- Evaluate container image and IaC security outputs using Trivy and policy-as-code checks.
- Implement release controls and rollback criteria aligned with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 change governance.
- Synthesize pipeline evidence into a secure delivery report, risk register, and action plan.
Requirements & Prerequisites
You should have a working understanding of software development lifecycles, version control concepts, and basic CI/CD terminology. Familiarity with Git, build pipelines, or application security testing will help, but you do not need production DevSecOps experience to complete the course. No coding/programming is required beyond reading pipeline definitions and interpreting security findings; advanced concepts such as SAST, SCA, and DAST are taught at an operational application level. Please bring a laptop for hands-on pipeline and template exercises, and be prepared to review sample repository, build, and deployment artefacts.
