Practical DevSecOps is an online cybersecurity training platform offering hands-on courses and certifications in DevSecOps, AI Security, and Application Security. Based in San Francisco, it provides browser-based labs and practical exams focused on secure software development, threat modeling, container security, cloud-native security, and secure MLOps.
Overview
Established in 2018, Practical DevSecOps provides browser-based labs and certification exams covering secure CI/CD, software supply chain security, cloud-native hardening, and DevSecOps toolchains. Its certification exams typically span 6 to 24 hours and focus on real-world scenarios.
The company has been featured in over a dozen educational sessions hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), demonstrating its frameworks and methodologies for AI Security, threat modeling, and secure MLOps.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]
Courses and Certifications
Practical DevSecOps offers several certifications, including:
- Certified DevSecOps Professional (CDP)
- Certified DevSecOps Expert (CDX)
- Certified Cloud-Native Security Expert (CCNSE)
- Certified AI Security Professional (CAISP)
The platform is listed on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s NICCS Catalog as a DevSecOps course provider.[14]
Reception
Practical DevSecOps was included in a 2024 TechTarget article highlighting top DevSecOps training providers, alongside organizations such as Linux Foundation and SANS Institute.[15]
Its educational sessions on DevSecOps tooling, cloud-native security, and AI security have been hosted on the CNCF’s official YouTube channel, providing independent validation of its technical depth and community relevance.
Industry Relevance
Practical DevSecOps’s curriculum aligns with current trends in the cybersecurity industry, including “shift-left” security practices, supply chain risk mitigation, and AI governance. These are supported by academic literature.[16][17]
