Join the Secure Software Development and DevSecOps Training Course with EuroQuest International Training and gain the expertise to embed security into every stage of development.
The Secure Software Development and DevSecOps Training Courses in Amsterdam equip professionals with the essential skills and methodologies to integrate security into every phase of the software development lifecycle. Designed for software engineers, DevOps specialists, security architects, and IT managers, these programs emphasize the fusion of development, operations, and security—enabling organizations to build robust, compliant, and resilient digital products.
Participants gain a comprehensive understanding of secure software development principles, exploring threat modeling, secure coding practices, vulnerability management, and automated security testing. The courses focus on embedding security controls into continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, ensuring that applications are designed with “security by default” and “privacy by design.” Through hands-on labs and real-world case studies, attendees learn to identify and remediate common vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and insecure configurations before deployment.
These DevSecOps training programs in Amsterdam combine theoretical foundations with applied technical experience. Participants work with industry-standard tools for static and dynamic analysis, container security, and cloud-native protection while developing governance models that align with frameworks such as OWASP, ISO 27034, and NIST. The curriculum also highlights secure automation practices, infrastructure-as-code (IaC) security, and continuous monitoring techniques that enhance collaboration between development, operations, and security teams.
Attending these training courses in Amsterdam offers professionals an opportunity to engage with cybersecurity experts and peers from leading technology and enterprise sectors. The city’s vibrant tech ecosystem fosters innovation and knowledge exchange, providing an ideal environment for mastering modern software security practices. By completing this specialization, participants will be equipped to lead secure DevOps transformations, mitigate application risks proactively, and deliver high-quality, resilient software that meets global security and compliance standards in today’s fast-paced digital landscape.
