SecDevOps is the latest evolution in secure software development.

This certification training course will help you prepare for and successfully attain the highly respected SecDevOps Foundation (SDOF) certification. In this course, you will learn:

Benefits, concepts, processes and vocabulary of SecDevOps to produce secure software and maintain high-quality agile delivery at speed and scale.
Why SecDevOps evolved as an agile methodology and went past the original DevSecOps practice of Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery to include security/regulator Continuous Compliance (CI/CD/CC).
Which organizational culture changes and individual mindset perspectives are necessary to foster ongoing SecDevOps success and improvement.
How to plan, design and use a pipeline to test and operationally deploy and monitor production infrastructure.
Which techniques are best to find vulnerabilities and perform threat modeling to achieve a security-first perspective in the software development lifecycle.

SecDevOps Foundation Training FAQs

SecDevOps is a powerful modern approach for creating software that integrates security into the development life cycle. The U.S (United States). Department of Homeland Security (DHS) initiative effectiveness has been empirically proven to improve cyber protection significantly.

As a result, it is invaluable for reaching current CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) requirements for vendors and government agencies.

DevSecOps and SecDevOps are remarkably similar frameworks. SecDevOps is formally proffered by DHS and has a distinctly “security first” philosophy. Over time, SecDevOps is evolving new insights and practices that go beyond the original scope of DevSecOps (such as planning, acquisition, and disposal of assets).

This course is intended for security experts, software developers, and operations specialists who must work in collaborative teams and understand SecDevOps basics. Accordingly, the material proceeds quickly into applicable practices for achieving highly robust CI/CD/CC results. The goal is to know where you are now, where you want to be in the future, and how best to get there.

PeopleCert CPDs are the continuing education credits that help you maintain PeopleCert certifications in PRINCE2, ITIL and DevOps Institute.

Maintaining PeopleCert Certifications
All PeopleCert Business and IT certifications (including PRINCE2, ITIL and DOI) must be renewed within three years of their original certification date. There are two ways to keep certifications current:

Join PeopleCert Plus (a paid membership) to earn 20 CPDs per year for 3 years and renew certifications that way.
Earn another certification from the same Product Suite (for example, to renew all ITIL certifications you can earn a new ITIL certification)

Eligible Learning Tree Training
Learning Tree training is not eligible for the PeopleCert Plus CPD program. Attendees can renew their PeopleCert certifications with Learning Tree by enrolling in another certification from the product suite they're trying to renew. Examples:

If you hold an ITIL 4 Foundation certification, and you acquire an ITIL 4 Practitioner or ITIL 4 Specialist certification, all your certification(s) belonging to the ITIL 4 Product Suite will be renewed.
Similarly, if you hold a PRINCE2 Practitioner certification and you acquire an MSP Foundation, all your certification(s) belonging to the PRINCE2 Project, Programme & Portfolio Management Suite will be renewed.

Learn more about eligibility and CPDs on the PeopleCert website: Keep your certifications current| (peoplecert.org)

Attendee Process for Renewing PeopleCert Certifications with Learning Tree
Once an attendee successfully earns a PeopleCert certification from the same product suite they're trying to renew, their other certifications in that product suite will automatically renew.
