What are the responsibilities of certified DevSecOps professionals?
Certified DevSecOps professionals are expected to:
- Monitor the entire software development lifecycle.
- Be aware of cybersecurity threats and software.
- Know how to implement risk assessment techniques and the best security practices.
- Monitor and improve DevSecOps tools and processes, automate routine tasks, and improve system reliability.
- Provide technical support in security operations, tool integration, automation support, change management, and business continuity program.
Individuals who complete DevOps security certifications like the ECDE are well-equipped to handle the real-world responsibilities of DevSecOps professionals.
Why is DevSecOps gaining popularity while DevOps is struggling?
As organizations incorporate security into their DevOps practices—a strategy known as Shift Left—DevOps transitions into DevSecOps, incorporating security into the development cycle as opposed to handling security reviews after the development is complete. Implementing DevSecOps aims to increase team productivity and develop secure applications in less time, with fewer bugs. This creates repeatable, scalable development practices, enabling organizations to be more effective while mitigating risks. This shift helps teams to deliver secure apps—on time, within budget, and with greater confidence.
Teams with DevOps security certifications that integrate security throughout the development process are more than 1.5 times as likely to meet or exceed organizational goals.
What is the duration of the exam?
The duration of the ECDE exam is four hours. This exam comprehensively covers all the topics taught in the DevSecOps certification course. Candidates who successfully clear the exam prove their credibility to gain the DevOps security certification.
What is the passing percentage of the exam?
The candidate must score 70% to pass the ECDE exam. On clearing the exam, the candidate will receive EC-Council’s DevSecOps certification. The DevSecOps course will prepare candidates not just for the exam but also for real-world roles and responsibilities. The DevOps security certification acts as proof of the candidate’s abilities and skills.
Why is EC-Council’s Certified DevSecOps Engineer (ECDE) considered one of the best DevSecOps certifications?
