DevSecOps Firefight: Breach, Fix & Fortify Training Course

1. DevSecOps Foundations: Security by Design for Government

🔍 Learn: Core DevSecOps principles and secure software development lifecycle (SDLC)

🛠️ Demo: Side-by-side comparison of legacy versus modern secure pipelines

🔧 Lab: Build your first DevSecOps-enabled pipeline template

2. OWASP ZAP Security Testing Bootcamp for Government

💣 Breach Simulation:

• Deploy a vulnerable application with SQL injection (SQLi) and cross-site scripting (XSS)
• Use OWASP ZAP to detect and mitigate threats

⚙️ Defense Tactics:

• Automated scanning with ZAP
• Integration of ZAP API into CI/CD pipelines

🧪 Lab: Customize ZAP baseline scans and attack rules

🎯 Challenge: “Find the hidden admin panel in 10 minutes”

3. Dependency Hell: Supply Chain Defense for Government

💣 Breach Simulation:

• Inject a malicious npm package with known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs)

🛡️ Defense Tactics:

• Monitor vulnerabilities using OWASP Dependency-Track
• Enforce policy gates that fail builds on critical CVEs

🧪 Lab: Create vulnerability policies and alert workflows

⚠️ Shocking Demo: “How one bad dependency can compromise your infrastructure”

4. Vulnerability Management War Room for Government

💣 Breach Simulation:

• Exploit unpatched container vulnerabilities

🛡️ Defense Tactics:

• Centralize reporting with OWASP DefectDojo
• Scan containers using Trivy

🧪 Lab: Build real dashboards for CISO and executive reporting

🏁 Competition: “Triage 50 findings faster than your colleagues”

5. Secrets & Configuration Fire Drill for Government

💣 Breach Simulation:

• Exfiltrate secrets from Git history using truffleHog

🛡️ Defense Tactics:

• Implement pre-commit hooks to block patterns such as password=.*
• Use ZAP’s configuration spider to identify dangerous settings

🧪 Lab: Implement GitHub Actions secrets scanning

🚨 Reality Check: “Your database password may be in Slack right now”

6. Wrap-Up: DevSecOps Battle Plan for Government

🧭 OWASP Integration Roadmap:

• Plan your adoption of DefectDojo, Dependency-Track, and ZAP

📋 Personal Action Plan:

• Draft a 30-day security checklist
• Define your DevSecOps key performance indicators (KPIs) and reporting dashboards
