Introduction to DevSecOps: Building Secure Software Delivery Pipelines

Software development moves faster than ever, but speed should never come at the cost of security. DevSecOps bridges the gap between development, security, and operations, making security a shared responsibility throughout the entire software lifecycle. This comprehensive text-based course guides you from the fundamental principles of DevSecOps to implementing automated security checks directly inside your deployment workflows. What you'll learn: - Understand the core principles of DevSecOps and how to shift security left in the software development lifecycle. - Implement automated security scanning, including static and dynamic application security testing. - Secure containerized applications and scan dependencies for known vulnerabilities. - Apply infrastructure-as-code security practices to prevent cloud misconfigurations before deployment. - Integrate modern zero-trust security concepts and secure secret management into automated pipelines. You will start with foundational DevSecOps terminology, basic concepts, and security culture before exploring practical pipeline automation, threat modeling, and continuous compliance. This course is designed for beginners, software developers, and system administrators looking to transition into security-focused operations with no prior DevSecOps experience required. Start reading today to secure your software delivery pipelines from the very first line of code.
