Overview of the Certified DevSecOps Engineer (ECDE) Exam
The ECDE 312-97 certification mandates that Software Developers and Security Engineers master the integration of security paradigms into CI/CD pipelines through DevSecOps methodologies. Candidates must demonstrate proficiency in implementing automated security testing utilizing tools like SonarQube, Jenkins, GitLab CI, and Terraform for Infrastructure as Code. The curriculum emphasizes threat modeling, vulnerability management, and container security across Docker and Kubernetes environments. Practitioners apply security-as-code principles, managing secrets with HashiCorp Vault while enforcing compliance via Open Policy Agent. Rigorous technical focus resides on automating security orchestration, ensuring secure software delivery lifecycles, and mitigating risks within hybrid-cloud architectures through robust governance and continuous monitoring.
