Implementing DevSecOps (LFS262) Course Overview

This course begins by laying the foundation of DevSecOps, explaining the principles, practices, cultural aspects and tooling landscape. It then goes on to show you how to incorporate various practices into the Continuous Delivery pipeline: perform Software Composition Analysis (SCA) and add it to the Continuous Integration pipeline, perform static code analysis and project gating using SAST tools, implement security best practices while writing Dockerfiles to build images, scan container images for vulnerability, perform Dynamic Application Software Testing (DAST) on a live environment, set up a centralized vulnerability management system to provide visibility and alerting, and build a cloud native DevSecOps pipeline. You will also use IaC effectively to enforce compliance, collect logs, analyze events to provide detection and monitoring of security issues, and learn to address cloud and container related risks. In order to make adoption of DevSecOps practices frictionless, this course focuses on usage of mostly open source software, at the same time providing enough flexibility to plug in a commercial alternative to match the implementation environment.
