Overview of the PeopleCert DevSecOps Exam
The PeopleCert DevSecOps certification evaluates security practitioners, cloud architects, and software engineers on the integration of automated security controls within CI/CD pipelines. Candidates must demonstrate proficiency in implementing DevSecOps principles using tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, and GitHub Actions alongside infrastructure-as-code frameworks like Terraform and Ansible. The curriculum emphasizes vulnerability management, container security with Docker and Kubernetes, and static/dynamic application security testing integration. Technical mastery involves operationalizing shift-left strategies, managing identity and access governance, ensuring secure supply chain integrity, and utilizing monitoring solutions like ELK or Prometheus to maintain continuous compliance and threat detection throughout the software development lifecycle.
