Practical DevSecOps

Practical DevSecOps is an online cybersecurity training provider based in San Francisco, California. It offers browser-hosted labs and hands-on certifications aimed at integrating security into DevOps practices, covering topics such as container hardening, threat modeling, and AI-driven security testing.[1][2]

Overview

Established in 2018, Practical DevSecOps delivers virtual training environments to simulate real-world DevOps pipelines. Participants complete practical, timed certification exams—typically lasting 6 to 24 hours—designed to assess applied skills in areas such as static and dynamic testing, secure CI/CD, and cloud infrastructure configurations.[3]

Although most information about its curriculum comes from its own materials, community discussions and informal reviews suggest that it emphasizes lab-based learning using typical security tools and workflows.[4]

Reception

Review aggregation on Trustpilot shows a rating of 4.8 out of 5 from over 570 reviews. Users frequently highlight the practical lab setup and real-world focus as key strengths, while noting occasional interface lag and concerns about course cost and content depth.[1]

Discussions on cybersecurity forums such as *r/devsecops* and *r/cybersecurity* reveal mixed feedback. Some users report that the flagship certification (CDP) suits professionals moving into DevSecOps roles, while others critique it as introductory and comment on aggressive marketing practices.[2][5]

A blog post reviewing the Certified DevSecOps Professional course describes it as providing “a practical learning experience” featuring over 30 guided lab exercises covering tools like Docker, Ansible, GitLab CI/CD, SAST, and DAST.[3]

Industry Context

Practical DevSecOps operates within the broader trend of "shifting security left," where security practices are applied earlier in the development lifecycle. In academic studies, this approach—referred to as DevSecOps—is recognized as critical for balancing rapid software delivery and security outcomes.[6][7]
