DevSecOps Learning Roadmap

Disclaimer: ChatGPT generated document.

To begin learning DevSecOps, it’s helpful to have a foundational understanding of both development (Dev) and operations (Ops) practices, as well as security principles. Here’s a roadmap to get started:

1. Learn the Basics of DevOps

  • Version Control: Start with Git and platforms like GitHub/GitLab.
  • CI/CD Pipelines: Learn about Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery using tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, CircleCI, etc.
  • Containerization: Explore Docker for containerizing applications.
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Learn Terraform or Ansible to manage infrastructure through code.
  • Cloud Platforms: Get familiar with cloud providers like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.

2. Understand Security Fundamentals

  • Basic Security Concepts: Learn about encryption, firewalls, and authentication protocols.
  • OWASP Top Ten: Understand common vulnerabilities like XSS, SQL Injection, etc.
  • Secure Coding Practices: Learn how to write secure code (e.g., avoid hardcoding credentials).
  • Identity and Access Management (IAM): Study tools like AWS IAM, OAuth2, or SAML for user and role-based access.

3. DevSecOps-Specific Tools and Techniques

  • Security in CI/CD: Learn how to integrate security into your pipelines (e.g., Snyk, SonarQube).
  • Container Security: Study tools like Aqua, Twistlock, or Sysdig for securing Docker/Kubernetes containers.
  • Vulnerability Scanning: Understand tools like OpenVAS, Nessus, or Trivy for scanning infrastructure and applications.
  • Penetration Testing: Learn the basics of pentesting using tools like Kali Linux and Metasploit.

4. Compliance and Monitoring

  • Compliance: Learn about industry standards like ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR.
  • Security Monitoring: Explore logging and monitoring tools like ELK Stack, Splunk, or AWS CloudWatch.
  • Incident Response: Learn how to handle security incidents effectively (e.g., using playbooks).

5. Hands-on Practice

  • Build Your Own CI/CD Pipeline: Integrate security scans into it.
  • Labs and Challenges: Websites like Hack The Box, TryHackMe, or OWASP’s Juice Shop are great for hands-on security challenges.
  • Secure Your Cloud Environments: Practice by setting up and securing services on AWS, Azure, or GCP.

6. Learn from DevSecOps Communities

  • Follow communities like DevSecOps.org or attend conferences like DevSecCon.
  • Engage with forums or online groups like Reddit’s r/devsecops.

Starting with these steps will provide a strong foundation in DevSecOps principles and practices.
