1. Welcome to module 3

The world of cybersecurity is a rapidly changing field where you, in a cloud security role, have to quickly adapt to new types of attackers and threats as you encounter them. With these ever-changing threats, your approach to securing your assets and information has to change accordingly. Being able to adapt and quickly react is an exciting and necessary skill to practice as a security professional. In this video, you'll be introduced to the security lifecycle and its relationship to software development. Throughout this section, you'll dive into the security lifecycle as it relates to development, security, and operations (DevSecOps), software pipelines, the software supply chain, and infrastructure and policies as code. You'll begin by learning about DevSecOps, its history, and how it has altered the workflow of professionals in development, security, and operations. Then, you'll examine software pipelines more closely, and learn how you can use them to leverage automation to ensure consistency across software development processes. You’ll inspect Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery, also known as CI/CD pipelines, and the security team’s role in reducing development downtime and human errors along the way. Next, you’ll discover the software supply chain and the components that are critical to secure. We’ll dig into artifact threats and vulnerabilities, and how to mitigate them. Finally, you’ll review infrastructure and policies as code, and practice applying infrastructure as code concepts in the workplace. You’ll also be introduced to tools and processes that support automation in the cloud landscape. The security lifecycle is an exciting process, and we’ll introduce you to lots of important strategies for following this lifecycle. Good luck.
