CANCELLED Class - DevSecOps: Automating Security in DevOps

One-Day Interactive Training - OWASP New Zealand Day 2020

Abstract

Modern enterprises are implementing the technical and cultural changes required to embrace DevOps methodology. DevSecOps extends DevOps, by introducing security early into the SDLC process, thereby minimizing the security vulnerabilities and enhancing the software security posture.

Course Objectives

Course attendees will learn how to:

Create a security culture/mindset among the already integrated “DevOps” team
Find and fix security bugs as early in SDLC as possible
The culture promotes the philosophy “Security is everyone’s problem”
Integrate all security software centrally and utilize the results more effectively
Measure and reduce applications’ attack surface

Target Audience

DevOps engineers, security and solutions architects. System administrators will also strongly benefit from this course as it will give them a holistic approach towards application security.

Anybody with a background in IT or related to software development whether a developer or a manager can attend this course to get an insight into DevOps and DevSecOps.

Course Overview

Modern enterprises are implementing the technical and cultural changes required to embrace DevOps methodology. DevSecOps extends DevOps by introducing security early into the SDLC process, the security vulnerabilities and enhancing the software security posture. In this workshop, we will show how this can be achieved through a series of live demonstrations and practical examples.

As part of this workshop attendees will receive a state-of-the-art DevSecOps tool-chest comprising of various open-source tools and scripts to help the DevOps engineers in automating security within the CI/CD pipeline. While the workshop uses Java/J2EE technology stack, the workshop is language agnostic and similar tools can be used against other application development frameworks.

A Short preview of our course is available on YouTube.
