Objective
At the end of the course student will:
Have a fundamental understanding of DevSecOps including common web application security issues, such as the OWASP Top 10, Linux security, how to use and implement DevSecOps tooling, and what key projects and organisations to reference so that student can understand and prioritise the most important issues found from your DevSecOps CI/CD pipelines.
Content
What DevOps is and how to get started.
What DevSecOps is and how to get started.
Explanations, hands-on demos and walkthroughs of important tools such as SAST, DAST and SCA.
Turn a DevOps pipeline into a DevSecOps pipeline (GitLab YAML pipelines examples with YAML provided).
Explanation of penetration testing and vulnerability assessments and how they align with DevSecOps.
Key security principles explained such as CIA triad, OAuth, defence in depth and least privilege.
Key security organisations such as OWASP, CIS, and CISA.
Key security projects such as OWASP Top 10 2021, OWASP ZAP, OWASP ASVS, CVE’s, CVSS.
Common web application security issues will also be covered.
Linux security fundamentals covering topics such as sudo, SSH, file permissions, updates and more.
Docker explained, hands-on demos including how to build your own containers and recommendations to ensure they are running securely (also includes downloadable source code to build your own Docker container to test yourself!).
Terraform explained, hands-on demos and recommendations to ensure it is implemented securely.
Materials
This course will cover basic elements of DevSecOps. The course is made up of hands-on demos, reading material, quizzes and some presentations. The course also includes source code and links to all of the tools and sites mentioned so students can use on their local environment.
