DevSecOps Course

What Is the DevSecOps Course?

Modern companies deploy code many times a day, so security reviews at the end of a release cycle do not work. DevSecOps builds security into the pipeline: every commit triggers static analysis, dependency checks, secret scanning and container scans, and every deployment is validated against policy. Security becomes continuous and automated rather than a gatekeeper.

This course is practical. You will build a CI/CD pipeline from scratch with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, add security stages, deliberately introduce vulnerabilities and watch the pipeline catch them. You then harden Docker images, review Kubernetes manifests and scan Terraform templates for misconfigurations.

It builds on the Cloud Security Course and complements the Bug Bounty & Web Application Security Course for application-security specialists.

DevSecOps Course Syllabus – Module by Module

The curriculum below is the practical sequence we follow in class. Each module ends in a lab so you can prove to yourself, and later to an interviewer, that you can perform the task rather than just describe it.

Module 1: DevSecOps Principles and Threat Modelling

Culture and early-stage security.

• Shift-left, secure SDLC, OWASP SAMM
• Threat modelling with STRIDE
• Security requirements and user stories

Hands-on lab: Threat-model a sample microservice application.

Module 2: Secure CI/CD Pipelines

Build and protect the pipeline.

• GitHub Actions / GitLab CI
• Secrets management, signed commits, branch protection
• Pipeline attacks and hardening

Hands-on lab: Create a pipeline and harden it against secret leakage.

Module 3: SAST, SCA and DAST

Automated testing stages.

• SonarQube / Semgrep for static analysis
• Dependency scanning with OWASP Dependency-Check / Trivy
• DAST with OWASP ZAP
• Triaging false positives

Hands-on lab: Add three scanning stages and fail builds on critical findings.

Module 4: Container and Kubernetes Security

Runtime and image safety.

• Docker image hardening, non-root, minimal bases
• Image scanning and signing
• Kubernetes RBAC, network policies, pod security

Hands-on lab: Harden a deployment and verify with kube-bench.

Module 5: Infrastructure as Code Security and Compliance

Secure cloud provisioning.

• Terraform scanning with Checkov/tfsec
• Policy as code with OPA
• Cloud guardrails

Hands-on lab: Fix 15 IaC misconfigurations flagged by scanners.

Module 6: Monitoring, Incident Response and Metrics

Close the loop.

• Logging and runtime detection (Falco)
• Vulnerability management workflow
• DevSecOps metrics

Hands-on lab: Build a dashboard of pipeline security metrics.

Tools and Technologies You Will Practise

Tool names on a syllabus mean little unless you have actually used them under time pressure. In this course you work with the following, mostly open-source or free-tier, tools so that you can keep practising at home after the batch ends:

• GitHub Actions
• GitLab CI
• Docker
• Kubernetes
• SonarQube
• Semgrep
• Trivy
• OWASP ZAP
• Checkov
• Terraform
• Falco
• HashiCorp Vault

Projects and Capstone Work

Recruiters and clients trust evidence. These are the projects you complete and can document in a portfolio or GitHub repository:

• Secure pipeline: end-to-end CI/CD with security gates.
• Container hardening: secure image and deployment manifests.
• IaC security review: scan and remediate Terraform templates.

Why Learn DevSecOps Course in 2026?

Product companies and global capability centres in India are adopting DevSecOps to reduce vulnerabilities without slowing delivery. The combined skill set of development, automation and security is rare and well paid.

It also provides a path to cloud security and platform engineering roles.

What You Will Be Able to Do After the DevSecOps Course

Learning outcomes should be observable. By the end of this program you will be able to demonstrate the following, each backed by a lab or assignment you complete during the course:

• After Secure CI/CD Pipelines you can: create a pipeline and harden it against secret leakage.
• After SAST, SCA and DAST you can: add three scanning stages and fail builds on critical findings.
• After Container and Kubernetes Security you can: harden a deployment and verify with kube-bench.
• After Infrastructure as Code Security and Compliance you can: fix 15 IaC misconfigurations flagged by scanners.

How the DevSecOps Course Compares With Related Courses

Choosing between neighbouring courses is easier with a side-by-side view. The table compares this program with the options learners most often consider alongside it.

Checklist: Are You Ready to Join?

• Prerequisites: basic DevOps or development knowledge (Git, Linux, Docker helpful).
• A laptop with 8 GB RAM (16 GB recommended for virtual machine labs) and stable internet.
• About 7 hours per week for live classes, labs and practice.
• An ethical mindset: all techniques are practised only in authorised lab environments.
• Curiosity about how systems fail, and patience to debug when a lab does not work the first time.

If you meet most of these, you are ready; if not, the free demo will tell you which foundation course to take first.

Career Growth Path After This Course

A first role is rarely the destination. Learners who complete the DevSecOps Course typically begin as devSecOps Engineer or similar and progress towards cloud Security Engineer and cloud Security Engineer roles over the following years. Growth depends less on the number of certificates and more on documented work: lab write-ups, a GitHub or blog portfolio, contributions to capture-the-flag teams and clear communication during interviews. Re-skilling every year is part of the profession, so we also share a post-course learning plan and recommend the next logical courses.

How the Online DevSecOps Course Training Works

Every class is delivered live by a working trainer over video, so you can ask questions the moment they come up, share your screen when a lab breaks and get an answer on the spot. Sessions are recorded and shared with the batch for revision, which matters if you are a working professional who occasionally misses a class. Lab access is provided on a hosted practice environment, so you do not need an expensive laptop; a basic machine with 8 GB RAM and a stable internet connection is enough for most exercises, and we guide you through the virtual machine setup in the very first week.

The expected duration for this program is About 3 months, and the pace is designed for people who are studying or working at the same time. Each week combines concept sessions, guided labs, an assignment and a doubt-clearing session. In the final weeks you complete a capstone exercise and go through resume, LinkedIn and mock-interview preparation so that your skills are visible to recruiters.
