T-03
DevSecOps & Cloud Security
Build pipelines that cannot be broken into.
You will learn to integrate security into CI/CD workflows from the start — not as an afterthought. Cloud infrastructure hardening, container security, and secure coding practices are all covered. By the end, you treat security as a design constraint, not a compliance checkbox.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Competencies you will build.
Secure CI/CD Pipeline Design Integrating automated security checks into software delivery without slowing development.
Cloud Infrastructure Hardening Identifying and fixing misconfigurations in AWS and Azure environments.
Container Security Securing Docker containers and Kubernetes orchestration from build through runtime.
API Security Testing Testing the security of APIs — the connective tissue of modern applications.
Secure Coding Practices Writing code that resists common attack patterns from the first line.
Code Review for Security Reading other people's code to find vulnerabilities before they reach production.
