12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Siloed DevSecOps initiatives that fail to scale across departments

The situation this course is for

Mid-market organizations often struggle to move beyond pilot-stage DevSecOps efforts due to misaligned incentives, inconsistent tooling, and unclear ownership across development, security, and operations teams. This leads to delayed releases, compliance gaps, and increased rework, all while the demand for faster, safer delivery intensifies.

Who this is for

Technology leaders, operations managers, and compliance officers in mid-market organizations driving digital transformation and secure delivery at scale

Who this is not for

Individual contributors not involved in cross-team process design or implementation, or professionals in organizations without established development and operations functions

What you walk away with

  • Align development, security, and operations teams around a unified DevSecOps framework
  • Design and deploy secure, auditable CI/CD pipelines tailored to mid-market constraints
  • Integrate compliance and risk controls directly into development workflows
  • Implement role-based access and policy-as-code across environments
  • Lead organizational change using proven adoption patterns and team enablement strategies
