DevSecOps: Security in the CI/CD Pipeline

Anchoring security in (agile) software development processes

This training provides answers to the following questions

  • What is “Early Security Testing”?
  • Which are the most useful tools for automated security verification?
  • Why is the early detection of vulnerabilities so important?
  • How can Security-by-Design be achieved?

This hands-on training is aimed at software developers, DevOps engineers or architects and teaches the theoretical and practical basics of tool-supported “Early Security Testing”.

Remediating security vulnerabilities after software deployment is expensive. Compared to fixing the vulnerability during development, costs are multiplied. Consequently, the early detection of vulnerabilities (ideally directly at the time of implementation) is one of the most important goals for secure and cost-efficient software development (Shift-Left). By integrating automated security testing tools into the CI/CD pipeline, certain security problems can be identified and resolved very early in the development cycle.

 

In our practical DevSecOps seminar, the speaker imparts the domain knowledge necessary for a Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC). Building on this, participants will be enabled to integrate various security testing tools into the CI/CD pipeline based on our many years of practical experience. From the following categories, recommended security testing tools will be presented using practical hands-on exercises and showcases, and their best-practice use will be explained:

  • Software Composition Analysis (SCA)
  • Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
  • Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)
  • Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST)
  • Compliance as Code (CaC)
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Our trainers

Our promise: from practice, for practice & always up to date. That's why all our trainers are active experts with many years of experience in the subject area they teach.

Bastian Braun is a Senior Consultant IT Security at mgm security partners. He works on the development of secure web applications using agile processes, leads seminars for developers, project managers and penetration testers, performs product and security analyses, and advises clients on all aspects of web security.

He has been involved in web security for more than 15 years from an academic research perspective and as applied best practice. He particularly enjoys transferring academic research results into everyday industrial practice. He is a board member of the German OWASP Chapter and a regular speaker at relevant conferences.

Benjamin Kellermann is an information security consultant and penetration tester at mgm security partners in Dresden. Since 2004, he has been intensively involved in information security and conducted research on secure web applications at the Chair of Data Protection and Data Security with Prof. Andreas Pfitzmann. For several years he taught in the field of information security and is a speaker at numerous conferences. Through many security audits and penetration tests, Mr. Kellermann has the necessary expertise to address even technically very detailed questions.

Mirko Richter is an SSDLC consultant, SAST specialist, penetration tester and branch manager at mgm security partners in Dresden and has many years of experience as a developer, project manager and architect.
He has in-depth know-how and experience in hardening software solutions in the web-based area. In order to maintain this know-how, he is still actively involved in software projects alongside his consulting work and can therefore respond to relevant questions in great detail.

Björn Kirschner is an information security consultant and penetration tester at mgm security partners in Munich. Björn can look back on many penetration tests of a wide variety of technologies (web applications, mobile apps, network infrastructure, servers, ...). In addition to seminars, he conducts source code analyses and advises clients on many aspects of web application security, especially within the framework of a secure development process.

Reinhard Böhme is an experienced IT security consultant and trainer with a broad technical background and practical expertise in penetration testing (Web, Mobile, Infrastructure, Host Audits, ASVS) and cloud security (Azure, AWS). He combines in-depth knowledge of modern cloud infrastructures and information security with practical experience, making complex security topics practical and interesting for his seminar participants.

Your Benefit

Our training courses not only impart knowledge, they also change mindsets. Your developers will learn to identify security vulnerabilities early on and avoid them in a targeted manner. The result: more robust applications, more confidence - and a clear advantage in everyday project work.

All trainers are actively working Security Consultants. They contribute their experience with everyday problems, which often conflict with security requirements, and thus contribute to a pragmatic, realistic approach to security.

  • Practical methods instead of theory to avoid typical security gaps in web applications and mobile apps.
  • Content according to the latest standards by actively working, experienced Security Consultants.
  • Secure coding for long-term maintainability and quality of the source code.
  • Increased security awareness in the team prevents pitfalls at an early stage.
  • Protection against liability risks & damage to reputation.
