Implementing SSDF in DevSecOps Environments Fundamentals Training by Tonex
Elevate your software delivery by embedding NIST Secure Software Development Framework practices directly into modern DevSecOps workflows. Participants learn how to operationalize SSDF across CI/CD, cloud-native platforms, and microservices while maintaining velocity and auditability.
The program emphasizes measurable governance, evidence-driven controls, and practical design patterns for scalable adoption. Cybersecurity impact includes stronger supply-chain assurance, earlier defect discovery, and reduced blast radius from vulnerable components. Cybersecurity resilience is advanced through continuous verification, signed artifacts, immutable infrastructure, and standardized attestations that build executive and regulator confidence.
Learning Objectives
- Integrate SSDF activities into build, test, and release pipelines.
- Automate policy checks, security testing, and artifact signing.
- Apply SSDF controls to containers, Kubernetes, and serverless.
- Manage secrets, dependencies, and IaC with least privilege.
- Map SSDF tasks to roles, RACI, and compliance evidence.
- Strengthen organizational cybersecurity posture with continuous assurance.
