Advanced Devsecops: Real-World Security For Devops Engineers

Master security in DevOps with hands-on projects, secure pipelines, real-world attack scenarios, and compliance practice

What you'll learn

Secure the DevOps lifecycle: Integrate security into planning, coding, building, testing, deployment, and monitoring.

Build a Secure CI/CD Pipeline: Automate security scanning for code, dependencies, and infrastructure.

Identify vulnerabilities using tools like Snyk, Trivy, Kyverno, Cosign etc

Kubernetes & Container Security: Secure Kubernetes clusters, apply RBAC, Check for runtime security, and scan images with Trivy etc.

Secrets & Credential Management: Safeguard sensitive data with Kubernetes Secrets and learn best practices to manage them.

Security Compliance & Policy as Code: Automate security governance using tools like Kyverno on Kubernetes.

Final Capstone Project: Apply everything learned to secure a cloud-native microservices application, ensuring end-to-end security from code to deployment.

Requirements

Basic DevOps Knowledge – Familiarity with DevOps workflows and CI/CD pipelines.

Experience with Linux & Containers – Ability to work in the terminal and use Docker/Kubernetes.

General Cloud Knowledge – Understanding of AWS, Azure, or GCP is helpful but not mandatory.

No Prior Security Experience Required – This course covers security fundamentals before diving into advanced topics.

A Laptop/PC with Docker & Cloud Account – Labs are hands-on, so having a free-tier cloud account (AWS/Azure/GCP) is recommended.

Description

Security is no longer optional—it's a fundamental part of modern DevOps. If you're an SRE, DevOps engineer, security specialist, or software developer, mastering DevSecOps is key to ensuring the security of cloud-native applications while maintaining high-speed deployments.In this project-based, hands-on course, you'll learn how to integrate security into every phase of the DevOps lifecycle. We focus on real-world security threats, practical secure CI/CD pipeline implementation, and best practices for Kubernetes, containers, and cloud security. You’ll also get hands-on with SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, compliance automation, and infrastructure security tools.Unlike other courses that are theory-heavy or exam-focused, this course is practical and job-oriented. Every session includes hands-on labs where you simulate attacks, detect vulnerabilities, automate security checks, and deploy security-focused pipelines. The final capstone project will have you apply all these concepts to a real-world enterprise-grade DevSecOps implementation.By the end of this course, you'll be job-ready, capable of designing and securing production-grade CI/CD pipelines, ensuring compliance, and responding to security threats effectively. Whether you’re securing a startup’s cloud-native stack or a large enterprise’s DevOps environment, this course will equip you with battle-tested DevSecOps skills.How This Course Stands OutProject-Based, Hands-On Learning – Not just theory, but real-world attack simulations & secure pipelines.Job-Focused, Not Just Certification-Focused – Practical DevSecOps training for real jobs.Covers the Full Stack – From code security to cloud infrastructure protection.
