# DevSecOps Pipeline Security 

> Build DevSecOps security skills through mentor-led sessions and practical pipeline scenarios. This course focuses on secrets management, automated testing, and software supply chain security.

## Overview

Modern software delivery pipelines require integrated security controls to prevent vulnerabilities from reaching production. DevSecOps practices embed security throughout development, build, and deployment workflows.

This mentor-led programme introduces practical techniques for securing CI/CD pipelines, including secrets management, automated testing, and software supply chain protection. The course also explores the role of Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) in identifying and managing dependency risks.

Through practical scenarios and guided exercises, learners explore how to integrate security tools such as SAST and DAST into pipelines, protect sensitive credentials, and strengthen supply chain security. By the end of the programme, participants will be able to design and secure DevSecOps pipelines effectively.

## Prerequisites

- Basic understanding of software development workflows.
