CyberSecurity & DevSecOps Expert: Develop, PenTest, and Deploy Secure Applications

## Mini-Project: Writing a Security-Oriented User Story ### Project Overview Building on your understanding of DevSecOps principles, the CI/CD pipeline, and the CIA triad, this mini-project challenges you to write a complete set of security-oriented ...

Introduction: Why a storyboard approach? Throughout the previous activities, you have explored what DevSecOps means, how a Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery pipeline works, where security checks fit in at each stage, and how artifacts an...

In the previous activities, you explored what a Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery pipeline looks like, and you practiced placing security checks at various stages of an imaginary pipeline. You also adapted a secure pipeline to an e-comme...

THEORETICAL RECAP A CI/CD pipeline (Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery) is an automated sequence of steps that takes source code from a developer's commit all the way to a production deployment. In a standard DevOps pipeline, the typical st...

THEORETICAL RECAP A CI/CD pipeline (Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery) is the automated chain that takes source code from a developer's commit all the way to a running application in production. In a DevSecOps approach, security is not a f...

When we talk about a software delivery pipeline, we are referring to the full chain of automated steps that transforms source code written by developers into a running application available to end users. In a traditional DevOps approach, this chain i...

**Theoretical Recap** CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (or Deployment). It is the backbone of modern DevOps — and by extension, DevSecOps — workflows. Continuous Integration means that every time a developer pushes code...

Before diving into the world of security within development pipelines, it is essential to understand what DevOps is, why it was created, and how the concept of DevSecOps grew out of it. You have already explored the foundational pillars of cybersecur...

At this stage of your learning journey, you have covered a significant amount of foundational material. You have explored the core vocabulary of cybersecurity, discovered the three pillars known as the CIA triad, and encountered the most common web t...

**Theoretical Recap** Before diving into the workshop, let's consolidate what you have covered so far. In cybersecurity, a threat is any potential event or action that could exploit a vulnerability to cause harm to an information system. A vulnerabil...

In the previous activities, you built a solid foundation: you mastered the core vocabulary of cybersecurity (security, threat, vulnerability, risk), and you explored the three fundamental pillars that any security approach must protect: confidentiali...

THEORETICAL RECAP Before diving into the workshop, let's consolidate what you have covered so far. Four core concepts form the backbone of cybersecurity thinking: security (the overall state of protection of systems and data), threat (any potential e...

**Theoretical Recap** Before diving into the workshop, let's consolidate the essential framework you need. The CIA Triad is the cornerstone model of information security, composed of three pillars: Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. Confid...

Before diving into the technical world of cybersecurity and secure application development, every professional in this field must internalize a fundamental framework: the three pillars known as the CIA triad. These three pillars are Confidentiality, ...

**Theoretical Recap** Before diving into the workshop, let's consolidate the four core vocabulary terms you encountered in the previous lesson. A **threat** is any potential event or actor that could cause harm to a system — for example, a hacker att...

Welcome to this first foundational lesson. Before diving into technical tools, penetration testing techniques, or secure development practices, you need to master the vocabulary that structures all of cybersecurity. These words — security, threat, vu...

Welcome to the course 'CyberSecurity and DevSecOps Expert: Develop, Pentest, and Deploy Secure Applications'. This introductory chapter is your starting point. Before diving into technical tools, attack techniques, or secure deployment pipelines, it ...
