DevSecOps

( Duration: 3 Days )

DevSecOps is more than just a new label – it's a proven set of skills, tools, and practices for proactively building security into applications and IT services. From the start, security has been a key priority for technology professionals who practice the grassroots principles of DevOps. However, even on teams which strive to adhere to DevOps practices, security concerns still take a back seat far too often. The more recent DevSecOps phenomenon does not represent a new idea (secure all the things!), but it does represent a renewed focus on the importance of security in the development lifecycle and its implications for all of downstream IT.

This DevSecOps training course is a practical, in-depth educational solution for those who want to understand, apply, and improve their skills on "shifting left" in IT security. This course focuses on the principles, processes, and technical skills necessary to make security and risk profiling a front-end priority: embracing a "quality first" mindset. Teams will leave class understanding that they have a responsibility for how applications and IT services perform when they are complete and in production, even if they are involved primarily in design, development or testing applications. For IT teams primarily on the operations end of the spectrum, this class will teach them how to shift left and collaborate on the upstream work that ultimately impacts the IT security environment, the organization's risk management, and their own daily jobs.

By attending DevSecOps workshop, delegates will learn to:

  • Assess, specify, and automate much of the work associated with application security
  • Bridge the typical functional silos in IT that prevent proactive security practices
  • Translate common risks into technical use cases and software requirements
  • Apply "security first" engineering and testing practices throughout the entire application pipeline
  • Use static analysis, broader unit test coverage, and code quality reviews specifically for security
  • Translate the OWASP risks into practical, actionable software development best practices
  • How to deploy for security
  • Tie secure development practices and automated engineering to GRC and audit requirements
  • Try new approaches to change management for increased speed, automation and security
  • Use DevOps-style metrics to measure and monitor security practices and performance

  • Application Developer
  • Software Engineers
  • Software Tester
  • Technical Leadership
  • Security Administrators
