SecDevOps Practitioner® (SDOP) Certification Training

This SecDevOps Practitioner® (SDOP) Certification Training follows the SecDevOps foundational practice in Course 3695, SecDevOps Foundation® (SDOF) Certification Training. While the foundation course provides a basic understanding and outlines the roadmap for implementation, this practitioner-level class adds a range of techniques for a more comprehensive understanding of SecDevOps. This includes achieving optimum outcomes by designing the right pipeline architecture, creating an effective team, and establishing best-practice processes.

SecDevOps Practitioner® (SDOP) Certification Training Benefits

• In this SDOP Certification training, you will learn how to:

  • Prepare for the DevOps Institute SecDevOps Practitioner Certification (SDOP) with the world’s first accredited SecDevOps Practitioner course.
  • Establish SecDevOps maturity guidance for people processes and technology.
  • Implement and optimize typical pipeline tools to improve CI/CD/CC results.
  • Gather effective metrics to streamline, verify, and tune pipeline operations.
  • Follow architectural best practices, including immutable infrastructure and high observability.
  • Leverage experimentation to achieve highly effective automated security protection.
  • Improve team performance following the leadership-at-all-levels approach.
  • Case studies, group collaborations, and practical hands-on exercises using specific pipeline tools are included.
  • Receive official certification from the DevOps Institute (DOI).
  • Continue learning and face new challenges with after-course one-on-one instructor coaching.

• SDOP Certification Training Prerequisites

  SecDevOps Foundational certification (SDOF) is expected, or DevOps Foundational certification or DevSecOps Foundational certification. Related courses include:
