DevSecOps with AI: Automating Security in the Pipeline

• An understanding of the DevOps lifecycle and CI/CD pipelines
• Basic knowledge of application security principles
• Familiarity with code repositories and infrastructure-as-code tools

Audience

• Security-focused DevOps teams
• DevSecOps engineers and cloud security specialists
• Compliance and risk management professionals

DevSecOps with AI is the practice of integrating artificial intelligence into DevOps pipelines to proactively detect vulnerabilities, enforce security policies, and automate response actions throughout the software delivery lifecycle.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level DevOps and security professionals who wish to apply AI-based tools and practices to enhance security automation across development and deployment pipelines.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Embed AI-driven security tools into CI/CD pipelines.
• Use static and dynamic analysis powered by AI to detect issues earlier.
• Automate secrets detection, code vulnerability scanning, and dependency risk analysis.
• Enable proactive threat modeling and policy enforcement using intelligent techniques.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
