Certification objective coverage
Every provider-aligned module is connected to a lesson, labs, mock questions, and implementation proof.
This is the track-level audit view for blueprint alignment. Exact exam wording should still be checked against the current official provider guide before public exam-code claims are made.

Study plan
Start with threat modeling and OWASP risks before tool output, so learners understand why a finding matters.
Practise secure delivery in the pipeline: scan, prioritize, remediate, document, approve, deploy, verify, and monitor.
Turn every lab into an evidence pack with finding, exploit or proof, risk, fix, retest, residual risk, and release decision.
Hands-on labs
Review an intentionally vulnerable API design and write a threat model with assets, actors, trust boundaries, threats, and mitigations.
Run a secure-code review worksheet for injection, broken access control, secrets, logging, dependencies, and privacy risks.
Create a CI/CD security gate plan with SAST, DAST, SCA, secret scanning, IaC scanning, container scanning, and exception workflow.
Build a container supply-chain evidence pack with SBOM, signature or provenance note, vulnerability triage, and release decision.
Write an AppSec report with findings, severity, proof, business risk, remediation, retest evidence, and stakeholder summary.

Practice questions
Why should DevSecOps start with threat modeling rather than scanner output?
Threat modeling identifies what matters, who can attack it, how abuse could happen, and which controls reduce risk; scanners then provide evidence against that context.
What evidence should support a secure release decision?
A secure release decision should include scan results, fixed or accepted findings, SBOM or dependency inventory, secrets review, test output, risk exceptions, approvals, and monitoring plan.
