Module 19 – DevSecOps and Cloud Security

Module 19 explores the intersection of development, security, and operations—coined as DevSecOps—within cloud computing environments. This paradigm shift emphasizes the integration of security practices throughout the DevOps lifecycle to mitigate risk and enhance system resilience. Essential to this approach is the continuous delivery pipeline automation, which embeds security checks and balances to ensure compliance and secure deployment. Cloud security also encompasses the shared responsibility model, which delineates the security obligations of both cloud providers and cloud consumers to protect data, applications, and infrastructure. This module will delve into key concepts like Infrastructure as Code (IaC), secure development best practices, and monitoring strategies tailored for the dynamism and scalability characteristic of cloud architectures.
