DevSecOps Training in Oman

This hands-on DevSecOps Training in Oman introduces participants to integrating security within modern DevOps practices, including CI/CD, Continuous Monitoring, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

Regulatory Note for Financial Institutions:
In compliance with the Regulation on Banks’ Information Systems and Electronic Banking Services (Articles 16–25), DevSecOps pipelines in financial institutions must ensure secure development, continuous vulnerability monitoring, and traceable audit mechanisms for all deployments and code changes.

Participants will receive a fully functional DevSecOps Lab VM (Vagrant + Ansible) preloaded with open-source tools such as OWASP ZAP, HashiCorp Vault, and Semgrep to simulate real-world security automation pipelines.

By the end of this DevSecOps Training in Oman, you will have gained knowledge and skills in the following areas:

• Automate security in CI/CD pipelines.

• Deploy and secure tools like Vault, ZAP, OpenVAS, and Semgrep.

• Align DevSecOps processes with BDDK Article 23 compliance (secure software lifecycle and traceability).

• Build resilient, auditable, and regulation-ready DevOps environments.

• Act as Security Champions within agile teams.

By the end of this course, participants will confidently build secure, compliant, and automated DevSecOps pipelines
fully aligned with both global best practices and BDDK banking regulations.
