The curriculum covers critical domains including secure CI/CD pipelines, threat modeling, cloud and container security, compliance, and automation, ensuring participants gain actionable skills aligned with industry needs.
Participants engage with key technologies such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, SonarQube, OWASP ZAP, Docker, and Terraform in hands-on lab environments that simulate real-world deployment scenarios. The labs focus on building secure DevSecOps pipelines, implementing SAST, SCA, and DAST scanning, configuring automated security gates, and hardening containerized and IaC-based infrastructure using tools like Trivy, Checkov, and Vault. A capstone project involves designing and securing a full CI/CD pipeline with integrated security controls, enabling learners to demonstrate practical proficiency. These exercises are conducted in live tooling environments, reinforcing skills through direct application rather than theoretical study.
