Implementing DevSecOps: Securing the Software Delivery Pipeline

Security should never be an afterthought in software delivery, yet traditional development cycles often treat it as a final roadblock. This course provides a clear, practical pathway to shift security left, integrating automated checks, container scanning, and secret management directly into your deployment pipelines. You will learn to identify vulnerabilities early, automate compliance, and foster a collaborative security culture. What you'll learn: Understand foundational DevSecOps principles and the shift-left security philosophy; Configure automated Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) in CI/CD pipelines; Secure containerized applications by scanning images for vulnerabilities and managing secrets safely; Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security scanning to catch misconfigurations before deployment; Generate and analyze Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) to secure your software supply chain. You will start with core security concepts and terminology before moving step-by-step through pipeline integration, threat modeling basics, and automated compliance checking. This course is designed for beginners to DevOps, software engineers, and systems administrators looking to build foundational skills in modern pipeline security, with no prior security engineering experience required. Start reading today to build faster, safer, and more resilient software delivery pipelines.
