What is the Strategic DevSecOps Implementation course about?

When organizations grow through acquisition, disparate development practices, security postures, and operational models create friction that slows integration, increases risk exposure, and dilutes ROI. Traditional DevSecOps approaches fail to account for the political, technical, and cultural complexity of merging systems at scale. Without a structured method, teams default to slow, manual processes or force-fit standards that break critical workflows.
