The Microsoft Azure Technical Workshop: Implement Security Through a Pipeline Using Azure DevOps is a course designed to teach learners how to integrate security practices into their CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps. The course is structured into eight modules, each focusing on different aspects of securing Azure DevOps environments.
In Module 1, participants learn the fundamentals of implementing security within a DevOps pipeline. Module 2 covers the configuration of project and repository structures to enhance security in pipelines. Module 3 dives into Configuring secure access to pipeline resources, ensuring that sensitive data is protected.
Module 4 is about Managing identities for projects, pipelines, and agents to control access and permissions effectively. Module 5 emphasizes Configuring and validating permissions to maintain a secure environment.
Learners will explore how to extend pipelines using multiple templates in Module 6, while Module 7 focuses on Securing access to Azure Repos from pipelines. Finally, Module 8 teaches how to securely handle variables and parameters within pipelines.
This course will help learners understand how to build security into their DevOps practices, ensuring their pipelines are secure from development to deployment.

Learn to secure your Azure DevOps pipelines in this Microsoft Azure Technical Workshop. Ideal for professionals seeking to enhance their IT security skills.
This course equips learners with the skills to implement and manage security within Azure DevOps pipelines, ensuring secure software delivery.
Learning Objectives and Outcomes:
Managing identities for projects, pipelines, and agents involves setting up and maintaining secure access to resources and workflows in software development. By defining specific roles and permissions, you ensure that only authorized personnel can make changes to the project and its pipeline stages. This process, particularly when implemented in Azure DevOps, is crucial for safeguarding the development environment and maintaining operational integrity. It primarily addresses the need to implement security controls seamlessly within the development pipeline, ensuring that all deployment and integration tasks are conducted under strict access protocols. This method enhances overall project security and efficiency.
Configuring and validating permissions in a system ensures that each user or group has access to the resources they specifically need, and nothing more. This minimizes security risks and helps manage user capabilities effectively. Typically, setting up permissions involves defining roles and what each can access or do within a system. Validating these permissions requires regular reviews and audits to ensure they perform as expected and remain secure over time. Technologies such as Azure DevOps facilitate these processes by allowing administrators to implement security protocols easily and ensure that configurations reflect the intended access controls throughout various stages of development and deployment.
CI/CD pipelines are tools for automating the steps that software code goes through from development to deployment in production. "CI" stands for Continuous Integration, meaning every change in code is automatically tested to ensure it doesn't break the software. "CD" stands for Continuous Deployment or Continuous Delivery, where changes that pass tests are automatically deployed to production environments. Using Azure DevOps for implementing security in CI/CD pipelines ensures only secure, tested, and verified code progresses through the stages until it is released, minimizing risks and speeding up the development cycle efficiently.
Azure DevOps is a suite of development tools provided by Microsoft, designed to help software development teams plan work, collaborate on code development, and build and deploy applications. It supports implementing security within your deployment pipelines, ensuring that code is verified and secure before release. Azure DevOps integrates seamlessly with most leading tools in the market, supporting both public and private cloud configurations to facilitate a secure, efficient workflow and rapid deployment cycle.
Configuring secure access to pipeline resources in Azure DevOps involves setting permissions and roles to control who can access and modify your pipeline configurations and resources. Utilize security groups and service connections prudently to restrict access at various levels, ensuring only authorized personnel can perform certain actions. Enable auditing and leverage user access reviews to maintain and verify security compliance over time. Implementing these security measures protects your pipeline from unauthorized changes and helps maintain the integrity and confidentiality of your CI/CD process.
Securing access to Azure Repos involves setting up appropriate permissions and policies to protect your code. This can be done directly within Azure DevOps. Start by configuring user roles and access levels to control who can view, modify, or manage your repositories. Implement branch policies to enforce code review standards and integrate security checkpoints in your deployment pipelines. This ensures that only approved and secure code is deployed. Additionally, enable authentication mechanisms and use monitoring tools to track access patterns and detect any unauthorized changes, enhancing the security of your software development environment.
