DevSecOps has gained considerable momentum in recent years. It integrates software development (Dev), information security (Sec), and IT operations (Ops) so that businesses increase the value delivered by software. This course provides an overview of DevSecOps; introduces essential practices, such as continuous integration / continuous deployment (CI/CD), that shorten the cycle from implementing a feature to its availability to users; and describes how to start a DevSecOps transformation.
This course is for anyone who develops or manages information technology (IT) systems and wants to break down barriers between teams (development, information security, and operations), to shorten the time to market of new IT capabilities and gain a competitive advantage in the industry, and to increase the dependability and security of IT services.

The Three Ways

The behaviors and practices of DevSecOps stem from three principles: the fast flow of planned work throughout the value stream, constant feedback at every stage in the process, and the creation of a generative culture that embraces continual learning. This module dives into each of these principles in more detail, illustrating the concepts with real-world examples related to manufacturing and technology as evidence of their applicability to different domains.

Project

In this module, we'll apply DevSecOps practices in the context of developing a website. To do that, we'll introduce Git, a distributed version control system, and GitHub, a software development and project management platform; these two tools will be used extensively later in this specialization. Rather than developing the website from scratch, we'll use Jekyll, a static site generator, to convert Markdown files to web pages automatically. Finally, we'll introduce GitHub Actions to automate various tasks, from building the site to monitoring it in production.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
Is financial aid available?
