Course Overview

As cyber threats evolve, organizations can no longer treat security as an afterthought in software development. Secure Software Development and DevSecOps practices integrate security into the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC), ensuring faster delivery of safe, resilient applications.

This Secure Software Development and DevSecOps Training Course provides participants with the skills to identify vulnerabilities, apply secure coding practices, and implement automated security within DevOps pipelines. It emphasizes building a security-first culture while balancing speed, agility, and innovation.

Through hands-on labs, case studies, and collaborative workshops, participants will gain practical experience in secure SDLC and DevSecOps strategies.
