This standard outlines a management system designed to effectively manage information security and provides specific requirements for implementation. As part of the second step in your journey, you will need to complete three certifications: DevSecOps Certification, Cyber Security Foundation Certification, and Ethical Hacking Foundation Certification. These certifications will enhance your knowledge and skills in their respective domains, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of information security practices and methodologies.

They also become familiar with the roles of DevSecOps and how it aligns with a DevOps culture and organization. By the end of the certification program, participants will have the ability to implement "security as code" principles, enabling them to make security and compliance adaptable as a service. This empowers individuals to integrate security seamlessly into the DevOps workflow and ensures that security measures are agile and adaptable to changing needs.
