This DevSecOps training is designed to help participants understand how to integrate security seamlessly into DevOps practices across the software delivery lifecycle. The course focuses on DevSecOps principles, secure CI/CD pipelines, threat awareness, automation concepts, vulnerability management, compliance alignment, and collaboration between development, security, and operations teams. Participants will gain practical understanding of building secure, resilient, and high-velocity delivery workflows.

• Understand the principles, security practices, and automation capabilities of DevSecOps for secure software delivery.
• Set up and configure secure development workflows, security tools, compliance controls, and automation pipelines for enterprise  delivery environments.
• Design secure CI/CD pipelines, threat models, governance frameworks, and risk management strategies using DevSecOps  approaches.
• Implement security testing, vulnerability management, policy enforcement, monitoring, and continuous compliance workflows  effectively.
• Debug, test, and optimize security controls, automation pipelines, and governance processes for scalability and reliability.
• Build secure, automated, and production-ready software delivery ecosystems using DevSecOps best practices.
