Secure Product Lifecycle and Release Security Gates
RCCE students will learn how to build product release processes that include secure design checkpoints, code review requirements, dependency review, testing evidence, remediation tracking, and risk sign-off. RCCE students will learn to define security gates, align requirements to engineering velocity, prevent risky releases, and create repeatable governance that improves product security maturity over time. The course covers practical scenarios ranging from planning and development through testing, approval, and post-release validation. RCCE students will learn to analyze complex systems and think like an attacker to better defend the organization. This comprehensive course delivers practical knowledge applicable to real-world cybersecurity operations. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn through a combination of concept explanation, practical demonstration, and hands-on exercises.
