Security is the top concern of businesses today. This course shows developers how to mitigate security risks by implementing DevSecOps best practices. Every organization with a DevOps framework should be looking to shift toward a DevSecOps mindset, bringing individuals of all abilities and across all technology disciplines to a higher level of proficiency in security. From testing for potential security exploits to building business-driven security services, a DevSecOps framework that uses DevSecOps tools ensures security is built into applications rather than being bolted on haphazardly afterwards.
