A security review at the end of a release finds problems when they cost the most to fix. This Specialization covers DevSecOps as engineering rather than policy: controls automated inside the pipeline, running on every commit. It spans code, dependencies, containers, infrastructure, cloud, and runtime. You start with shift-left principles and Security as Code, then run SAST with SonarQube and Semgrep, DAST with OWASP ZAP, and dependency scanning. You add container scanning with Trivy, infrastructure scanning with Checkov, policy enforcement with OPA, and secrets in Vault, then secure an AWS pipeline and add Falco detection and AIOps monitoring. By the end of this Specialization, you will be able to: • Apply shift-left security and Security as Code in the SDLC. • Run SAST, DAST, and dependency scanning in CI/CD.
• Scan containers and infrastructure code with Trivy and Checkov. • Enforce policy as code with OPA and manage secrets in Vault. • Secure AWS delivery with IAM, ECR, and Inspector. • Detect runtime threats with Falco and flag anomalies. This Specialization suits DevOps engineers, security engineers, cloud engineers, platform engineers, and developers who own delivery pipelines, plus SREs adding security controls. It assumes Git, CI/CD, and Linux familiarity, and no prior security tooling experience. Enroll now to automate security into every stage of your pipeline.
