SecDops: Security by Design, for Dev, DevOps & Data
 An initiative by Heartin Jacob Kanikathottu
TELL ME MORERedefining Traditional DevSecOps and SecDevOps with SecDops
Unlike traditional SecDevOps, which focuses on security starting from the development phase, and DevSecOps, which integrates security into DevOps workflows, SecDops takes a more holistic approach by focusing on security in every phase, starting from design, through development, DevOps, and extending to data. SecDops is built on the belief that true security is achieved by deeply understanding the systems we aim to protect. Therefore, we begin by mastering the core concepts to establish a strong foundation. Finally, we believe in harnessing the power of AI to continuously improve and adapt our security measures. To bring this vision to life, SecDops is built on three core pillars.
The Three Pillars of SecDops
Starting with a Strong Foundation
Mastering core security, networking, development, and DevOps concepts to build a resilient base.
Secure Dev, Data & Ops Workflows
Integrating security across development, data, and operations workflows.
AI-Driven Cybersecurity
Harnessing the power of AI to detect, predict, and prevent security threats in real time.
The SecDops Mastery Program
The SecDops Mastery Program is designed to provide an in-depth, hands-on learning experience in modern security practices. Through a structured curriculum, you'll master core concepts in security, networking, development, and DevOps, while gaining practical experience with cutting-edge tools like Terraform, Python, and GitHub Actions. By the end of this program, you'll be equipped with the skills to build secure systems, collaborate effectively in agile teams, and implement AI-driven security strategies to protect against evolving threats. The program has three phases.
Phase 1
Build a strong foundationÂ
In this phase, we will master the core security, networking, development, and DevOps concepts that form the backbone of a secure tech environment. We will dive into essential tools and practices, including Python for scripting and automation, Git for version control, GitHub Actions for CI/CD automation, and Terraform for infrastructure as code.Â
Coming Soon!Phase 2
Build Secure Pipelines
We will learn how to build secure pipelines by integrating security at every stage of the DevOps lifecycle. This includes leveraging SAST for early vulnerability detection, DAST for runtime analysis, SCA for identifying vulnerable dependencies, and CI/CD practices to ensure continuous security throughout development and deployment.
Coming Soon!Phase 3
Working with a Team
In this phase, we will collaborate in teams, following Agile methodologies to gain hands-on experience making use of the concepts learned in previous phases. This phase emphasizes collaboration and iterative improvement, giving you the practical experience necessary to succeed in modern software development and cybersecurity practices.
Coming Soon!What People Are Saying
We’re still fine-tuning the course, so these are just sample testimonies to give you an idea of what’s to come. Real testimonials will be available once we’ve successfully graduated our first batch – we promise they’ll be real (and hopefully not too cheesy)!
