Course Overview

The DevSecOps with GitLab course by Gitlab is designed to equip professionals with the skills to integrate security seamlessly into the DevOps lifecycle using Gitlab’s unified platform. This training is ideal for DevSecOps Engineers, Security Specialists, and CI/CD Developers aiming to master automated security practices within modern software delivery pipelines. Participants prepare for the GitLab Certified Security Associate certification, which validates expertise in implementing security scanning and vulnerability management across the DevSecOps lifecycle. With over 30,000 organizations, including Fortune 500 companies, adopting Gitlab to streamline secure software delivery, demand for certified professionals has surged, making this certification a strategic asset for career advancement in secure software development.

Participants engage with core Gitlab security tools including SAST (Static Application Security Testing), DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing), Secret Detection, Dependency Scanning, Container Scanning, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) scanning. The course features hands-on labs conducted in a live Gitlab demo environment where students configure end-to-end CI/CD pipelines with integrated security checks. Learners build secure pipelines by enabling scanning tools, analyzing vulnerability reports, and implementing merge request approval rules based on security policies. A key project involves securing a real-world application by identifying and remediating vulnerabilities across code, dependencies, and container images, simulating the exact workflows used by enterprise DevSecOps teams.

This course directly prepares candidates for the GitLab Certified Security Associate exam, a globally recognized credential that validates practical DevSecOps skills. Certified professionals report average salary increases of 20-30%, with DevSecOps Engineers in the U.S. earning median salaries of $125,000 and senior roles exceeding $160,000. Koenig Solutions enhances this training with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official Gitlab courseware, and 1-on-1 mentoring, ensuring learners gain both exam readiness and real-world proficiency. Upon completion, graduates are positioned to lead secure software delivery initiatives, reduce vulnerabilities in production, and advance into high-impact roles such as DevSecOps Lead or Cloud Security Architect.
