What is the Pragmatic DevSecOps Implementation course about?
High-performing teams move fast, but often trigger friction when security enters late, as a gatekeeper. The result: rework, delayed launches, and cultural silos. Yet, bolting security on earlier without finesse slows the very agility teams are built to preserve. This tension lives at the heart of modern product delivery.
