The process to release software to users is often painful, risky and time consuming. Continuous Delivery can help large organisations to become lean, agile and innovative by having reliable and low risks releases, making it possible to adapt continuous updates in line with user feedback, market shifts and changes to business strategies.

As a result, the entire delivery process is accelerated while improving the quality. Teams from test, support, development and operations function and work together as one delivery team.

Over the past several years, information security has struggled to keep up with the fast-paced DevOps movement. DevSecOps — an extension of DevOps — aims to remedy this by embracing security as an essential part of DevOps culture. 

This DevSecOps Engineering and Automation short course aims to provide a 5 Days in-depth understanding of DevSecOps Engineering and Automation concepts, practices and tools.

Participants will learn both the theoretical concepts and practical modules in lectures and hands-on workshops.

This course is part of the Software Systems Series and Graduate Certificate in Designing Modern Software Systems series offered by NUS-ISS.
