DevSecOps Foundations: Transitioning to Secure DevOps

In modern software development, security cannot be an afterthought. This text-based course guides you through transitioning from traditional DevOps to a collaborative, secure DevSecOps culture. You will understand how to embed security practices directly into your existing pipelines, ensuring faster and safer software delivery without bottlenecking your development team. What you will learn: 1. Understand foundational DevSecOps principles, including the CALMS framework and the Three Ways methodology. 2. Analyze the stages of transitioning from standard DevOps to a decentralized DevSecOps model. 3. Explore how to shift security left by integrating automated vulnerability scanning into modern CI/CD pipelines. 4. Apply risk management and compliance best practices to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and containerized applications. 5. Identify strategies for fostering collaboration and shared security responsibility between development, security, and operations teams. The course begins with core definitions and the cultural shift required for DevSecOps before moving into practical pipeline integration strategies, threat modeling, and automation patterns. This program is designed for software developers, system administrators, and IT professionals looking to build a solid foundation in security automation, with no prior security experience required.
