Course description

In today’s fast-paced software development landscape, security cannot be an afterthought. This course, Integrating Security Practices into the DevOps Workflow, is designed to help you seamlessly embed security into every stage of your DevOps pipeline, ensuring that applications are not only fast and scalable but also secure and compliant.

This course introduces DevSecOps, a methodology that integrates security into development and operations from the start, rather than treating it as a separate phase. You will learn how to shift security left by incorporating automated security tools, compliance checks, and secure coding practices within CI/CD workflows.
