Foundations of DevSecOps: Security Principles and Practices

Traditional security practices often slow down modern software development, creating friction between developers and operations teams. Transitioning to a DevSecOps mindset allows you to build security directly into your delivery pipeline without sacrificing speed. In this course, you will transition from understanding basic information security tenets to applying modern DevSecOps practices. You will learn how to identify common vulnerabilities, integrate automated security checks, and foster a collaborative security culture across your development lifecycle. What you will learn: - Understand the core tenets of information security, including confidentiality, integrity, and availability. - Identify modern security threats, risks, and vulnerabilities in web applications. - Explore how DevSecOps principles bridge the gap between development, security, and operations. - Apply automated security scanning techniques within code repositories. - Implement basic container and infrastructure-as-code security practices. - Practice designing a secure continuous integration and continuous delivery workflow through structured written exercises. The course begins with foundational terminology, computer system evolution, and core security tenets before guiding you through practical DevSecOps integration techniques. This course is designed for beginners, developers, and IT professionals looking to understand security without any prior DevSecOps experience.
