DevSecOps for Engineers, Managers and Analysts Essentials Training by Tonex
The Tonex 2-Day DevSecOps for Engineers, Managers and Analysts course provides a comprehensive, hands-on exploration of integrating security throughout the DevOps lifecycle. Designed for technical and non-technical professionals alike, this advanced program bridges software engineering, cybersecurity, and operational excellence.
Participants will learn how to build, deploy, and operate secure applications using DevSecOps pipelines, implement security controls early and continuously, and align development practices with compliance and risk management frameworks.
The training combines industry frameworks (e.g., NIST, DoD Enterprise DevSecOps Reference Design) with practical labs and decision-level insights, empowering participants to lead secure software transformation initiatives confidently.
Learning Objectives
After completing this training, participants will be able to:
- Understand DevSecOps principles and how they differ from traditional DevOps.
- Understand organizational DevSecOps maturity models and implementation roadmaps.
- Be equipped to guide enterprise DevSecOps transformation initiatives effectively.
- Integrate security into every phase of the CI/CD pipeline (“shift-left” mindset).
- Apply secure coding, testing, and deployment strategies for cloud and containerized environments.
- Implement automated compliance, governance, and vulnerability management tools.
- Design metrics and dashboards for continuous security and operational visibility.
- Align DevSecOps adoption with enterprise policies, risk frameworks, and leadership priorities.
- Identify and mitigate real-world threats through threat modeling and red/blue collaboration.
- Communicate effectively across engineering, operations, and management teams.
- Master secure development, operations, and automation workflows.
- Gain confidence to architect and manage secure CI/CD pipelines.
