  • 4.9(31,452 Rating)

Course Overview

The ECDE: Certified DevSecOps Engineer Training is a comprehensive, industry-aligned program designed for IT professionals, developers, and DevOps engineers who want to integrate security seamlessly into the software development and deployment lifecycle. As modern enterprises increasingly adopt DevOps practices, embedding security into CI/CD pipelines has become critical to prevent vulnerabilities, data breaches, and compliance issues.

This course emphasizes practical, hands-on approaches to building a secure DevOps culture, covering topics such as secure coding, automated security testing, cloud security integration, container and orchestration security, and vulnerability management. Participants will learn how to shift security left, ensuring that security is an integral part of the development lifecycle without slowing down deployment or innovation.

ECDE equips learners with the knowledge and skills to implement DevSecOps strategies, secure cloud-native applications, and enforce security policies across enterprise environments. By the end of the training, participants will be prepared to design, deploy, and manage secure DevOps pipelines, balancing agility, speed, and compliance.

Course Objectives:

  • Understand the principles of DevSecOps and its importance in modern software development
  • Integrate security into CI/CD pipelines using automated tools and practices
  • Conduct secure code reviews and implement secure coding standards
  • Manage vulnerabilities and threats in containerized and cloud-native environments
  • Apply security practices in container orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes and Docker
  • Implement configuration management and infrastructure-as-code security
  • Monitor, detect, and respond to security incidents in DevOps environments
  • Align DevSecOps strategies with regulatory compliance and industry best practices
  • Foster a culture of continuous security awareness among development and operations teams
  • Optimize DevSecOps workflows to maintain speed, quality, and security simultaneously
