Why DevSecOps is Essential for Modern Software Delivery
In today’s digital world, speeding up software delivery while maintaining strong security has become a top priority for organizations across industries. The traditional waterfall approach to security—where security checks occur late and separately—no longer fits in the fast-paced DevOps environment. DevSecOps bridges this gap by integrating security continuously throughout the software development lifecycle.
The DevSecOps Foundation Certification by DevOpsSchool is designed to help professionals embed security seamlessly into DevOps pipelines, ensuring secure, compliant, and resilient software without sacrificing agility.
Understanding the DevSecOps Foundation Certification
This certification equips learners with foundational knowledge and hands-on skills to integrate security best practices at every stage of the DevOps process. It covers:
- The principles and culture of DevSecOps compared to traditional security methods
- Embedding security throughout the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
- Automating security checks such as static and dynamic application testing (SAST, DAST) and software composition analysis (SCA) within CI/CD pipelines
- Effective threat and vulnerability management
- Continuous monitoring and incident response specific to DevOps environments
- Practical use of industry tools like Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, and OWASP ZAP
By completing this certification, professionals prove their ability to unite development, security, and operations teams to deliver software safely and efficiently.
