Complexity in software delivery pipelines is outpacing traditional security oversight

The situation this course is for

Teams are shipping faster, but oversight lags. Fragmented tooling, inconsistent policy enforcement, and unclear ownership of verification steps create drift between compliance intent and operational reality, especially when developers, reviewers, and CI/CD systems span multiple locations and domains.

Who this is for

Technology leaders, engineering managers, and compliance-forward practitioners guiding software delivery in hybrid or remote-first environments

Who this is not for

Individual contributors focused solely on writing code without responsibility for delivery pipelines, audit readiness, or cross-team coordination

What you walk away with

  • Apply a repeatable framework for verifying software origins and integrity
  • Integrate policy-as-code into CI/CD workflows without slowing delivery
  • Generate and maintain SBOMs that meet compliance and incident response needs
  • Enforce least-privilege access across build, test, and deployment systems
  • Produce audit-ready documentation that demonstrates control consistency
