Course overview

You build a working CI/CD pipeline and progressively harden it: dependency scanning, static analysis, secret detection, container scanning, IaC checks and signed artifacts.

The focus is on failing builds for the right reasons — actionable findings, sensible thresholds and developer-friendly feedback.

What you will be able to do

  • Build a CI/CD pipeline with security gates that developers accept
  • Integrate SAST, SCA, secret and IaC scanning
  • Harden container images and build environments
  • Manage pipeline secrets and least-privilege runners
  • Produce a supply-chain security baseline

Curriculum

Labs you will build

PrimeSec does not hand you a pre-built machine. You get professional lab guides and build the environment yourself — that is where the skill comes from.

  • Create a pipeline that builds and tests a sample app
  • Add SAST and triage the first findings
  • Generate an SBOM and flag vulnerable dependencies
  • Enable secret scanning and remediate a planted secret
  • Scan and harden a container image
  • Block a non-compliant Terraform change
  • Sign a build artifact and verify it

Portfolio projects

  • A hardened reference pipeline repository with documentation
  • A security gate policy defining thresholds and exceptions
  • A supply-chain security assessment of your own pipeline

Frequently asked questions

Do you provide the lab environment?

No — and that is intentional. PrimeSec gives you professional lab guides that teach you to build and configure the environment yourself using your own machine, Hyper-V, VMware, VirtualBox, Docker, or a cloud free tier. Building and troubleshooting the environment is part of the skill.

Is this course self-paced?

DevSecOps Engineering is self-paced. Lessons, knowledge checks, labs and projects unlock in order so you always know what to do next.

Do I get a certificate?

You receive a PrimeSec course completion certificate once every module, lab and project requirement is met. It demonstrates completion and practical work — not an accredited industry certification.

Will cloud labs cost me money?

Labs are designed around free tiers and local virtualisation wherever possible, and every cloud lab includes cleanup steps so you do not leave billable resources running.
