Integrating Security into DevOps: A Hands-On DevSecOps Training Program

A Practical, Stack-Agnostic Learning Journey for Modern Engineering Teams

Introduction: Why DevSecOps Matters Now

Software delivery today is fast, dynamic, and heavily reliant on automation—but also more vulnerable than ever. In this environment, traditional approaches to security—gatekeeping, end-of-cycle reviews, and isolated testing—simply don’t hold up. We need a new model that keeps pace with code.

That’s where DevSecOps comes in.

More than a buzzword, DevSecOps is a mindset shift. It embeds security directly into development and operations, ensuring teams can build, test, and ship software securely—without slowing down. But knowing what to do is different from knowing how to do it, especially in real-world, fast-moving environments.

This training is designed to help your teams bridge that gap.

Who This Training Is For

This course is ideal for cross-functional engineering teams that want to make security part of their daily work:

1. Backend and full-stack developers
2. DevOps and platform engineers
3. QA and test automation specialists
4. Tech leads and solution architects
5. AppSec engineers and security champions
6. SREs and infrastructure teams

Regardless of language, framework, or cloud platform, the training is stack-agnostic and designed to apply to diverse engineering ecosystems.

Our Training Philosophy

“Security works best when it’s invisible—but never absent.”

At QuadraLogics, we believe that good security isn’t just about tools or policies—it’s about making the secure path the default path for developers. That means low-friction integrations, clear responsibilities, and automation that works with your culture—not against it.

We teach through hands-on labs, use cases, pipeline walkthroughs, and guided threat models—not long slide decks.

What Participants Will Gain

1. A clear understanding of DevSecOps beyond theory
2. Practical strategies to secure code, dependencies, and infrastructure
3. Hands-on experience with tools that plug into your delivery workflows
4. The confidence to lead secure CI/CD adoption within teams
5. A roadmap to improve security maturity without disrupting delivery

Course Modules

1. Foundations of DevSecOps

1. DevOps meets security: what’s broken and how to fix it
2. Common misconceptions about DevSecOps
3. Understanding the cultural shift from “security as gatekeeper” to “security as enabler”
4. Designing collaborative workflows between Dev, Ops, and Sec teams

2. Threat Modeling for Fast-Moving Teams

1. Lightweight threat modeling in agile workflows
2. Identifying risk early—at design, not post-release
3. Using STRIDE, kill chain, and attack surface mapping techniques
4. Cross-functional threat modeling exercises and tools

3. Securing the CI/CD Pipeline

1. Where attacks can happen: SCM, build runners, artifact stores
2. Integrating SAST and secret detection early in the process
3. Managing environment variables, access tokens, and secrets
4. Sample pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins, CircleCI

4. Managing Dependencies and Open Source Risk

1. Why third-party libraries are a growing attack surface
2. Using automated tools to detect vulnerable packages
3. Understanding CVEs, transitive dependencies, and update hygiene
4. Incorporating SBOMs (Software Bill of Materials) in your pipeline
5. Tools overview: Snyk, OWASP Dependency-Check, Renovate, Trivy

5. Signing and Verification of Libraries and Artifacts

1. Why Signing Matters
   • Protecting against tampered dependencies and supply chain attacks
   • Real-world incidents involving unsigned or malicious libraries
2. What to Sign and Verify
   • Internal and external libraries
   • Docker images, Helm charts, deployment manifests
   • SBOMs and CI/CD artifacts
3. Tooling in Practice
   • Using cosign, notary, sigstore, and GPG for artifact signing
   • Enforcing signature verification before deployment
   • CI/CD integration for signature checks (GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins)
4. Labs and Exercises
   • Sign a Docker image and verify in runtime
   • Attach and validate SBOMs for traceability
   • Implement a “reject unsigned artifact” gate in a sample pipeline

6. Infrastructure & Container Security

1. Writing secure Dockerfiles and reducing image bloat
2. Scanning container images and IaC templates (Terraform, CloudFormation)
3. Policy as code using tools like OPA, Rego, and Sentinel
4. Securing cloud-native deployments (Kubernetes, serverless, Fargate)

7. Runtime Security and Monitoring

1. Shifting right: from scanning to runtime detection
2. What RASP, WAFs, and cloud workload protection platforms actually do
3. Security alerts vs alert fatigue: what to prioritize
4. Feeding logs and threat data into a SIEM or XDR pipeline

8. Governance, Metrics & Roadmapping

1. Reporting security posture to leadership
2. Metrics that matter: mean time to remediate (MTTR), coverage, and drift
3. Aligning DevSecOps efforts with ISO 27001, SOC2, NIST
4. Building a phased roadmap for DevSecOps maturity

Format & Delivery

Outcomes You Can Expect

1. Faster, safer delivery pipelines with built-in security
2. Fewer critical vulnerabilities in staging and production
3. Teams that understand and own their part in securing code
4. Measurable DevSecOps metrics for internal reporting
5. A clear DevSecOps adoption path beyond training

Real-World Applications

• Signed images pushed to private registries with policy enforcement
• Secrets rotated automatically and stored securely in vaults
• Pipelines that block vulnerable code and misconfigured IaC before deployment
• Architecture reviews that catch security flaws early, not post-incident

Common Questions Answered

“Will this slow us down?”
No. The goal is to build security that scales with speed. You’ll learn to automate, not obstruct.

“Does this require a specific stack?”
Not at all. We train across cloud-native, hybrid, and traditional stacks—Java, .NET, Python, Node, containers, and more.

“Is this just a tools workshop?”
Tools are part of it—but we focus more on patterns, integration strategies, and real team workflows.

Why QuadraLogics?

We’ve delivered security training at scale for organizations like Societe Generale, Siemens, CGI, and Pluralsight. Our trainers are practitioners who understand delivery pressure, DevOps realities, and how to embed security in practical ways—without friction.

We believe in making security accessible, relevant, and impactful—regardless of company size, stack, or maturity level.
