CREDENTIALS / ROLE-BASED
DevSecOps Certifications Built for Real Secure Delivery
Validate practical DevSecOps capability across professional, engineer, manager, and architect roles with hands-on, tool-driven certification pathways recognized by security-conscious organizations.
SIGNAL / WHY IT MATTERS
Anyone Can Claim DevSecOps. Few Can Prove It.
Hiring managers see "DevSecOps" on thousands of profiles. What they can't see is whether you have actually wired a SAST gate into a pipeline, hardened a Kubernetes cluster, or led a compliance automation program. A role-based credential — backed by 72 hours of lab-driven training and a proctored exam — turns your claim into evidence.

FAQ / DECRYPTED
Certification FAQ
Start from your role: practitioners begin with Professional, pipeline builders take Engineer, team leads and program owners take Manager, and senior technologists designing platforms take Architect. An advisor can map your experience to the right track in one call.
Training is lab-driven on real tools — Jenkins, GitHub Actions, SonarQube, OWASP ZAP, Trivy, Kubernetes, Vault, OPA, Checkov and more — and the exam validates applied capability, not memorized trivia.
Each certification exam is a 180-minute proctored test (testing center or online) with multiple-choice and multiple-answer questions. Exams cost 300 USD with optional 40 USD practice exams.
Credentials reflect the tool and practice landscape at the time of certification. We recommend refreshing through our updated courses as the DevSecOps ecosystem evolves, and alumni receive preferred pricing on refresher tracks.
