Infrastructure as Code Monitoring and Detection: Lab Series
RCCE students will learn secure CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code security, container hardening, supply chain risk management, and automated security testing. RCCE students will learn to integrate security into every phase of the software development lifecycle, shift security left with automated tooling, protect build and deployment pipelines from supply chain attacks, and build security automation that scales with development velocity. This monitoring course teaches comprehensive detection and observability strategies for proactive security operations. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn to instrument systems for security telemetry, build detection pipelines, configure alerting, and maintain monitoring coverage as environments evolve. Students gain the visibility and detection capabilities needed to catch threats early.
