My experience with CDP
My experience with DevSecOps is rooted in a hands-on certification from Practical DevSecOps. Unlike theoretical courses, this was entirely lab-based. I learned how to integrate security tools directly into CI/CD pipelines so that security checks happen automatically with every commit. Specifically, I worked with SCA tools to find vulnerable libraries, SAST tools to analyze source code for logic flaws, and DAST for runtime testing. For example, in one of the labs, I configured a pipeline where a build would fail automatically if a high-severity vulnerability was detected by OWASP ZAP and defect Dojo. This taught me not just how to use the tools, but how to tune them to minimize false positives and keep the pipeline efficient.

Hey Mayur Thanks for the detailed technical breakdown! Glad the entirely lab-based approach taught you not just how to use SCA, SAST, and DAST tools, but how to tune them for real pipeline efficiency. That OWASP ZAP and DefectDojo integration example is exactly what DevSecOps should look like in practice! Regards, The PDSO Team
