🔒 What You'll Learn in the Automated Vulnerability Scanning Masterclass

If you're a DevOps engineer, platform engineer, or security professional looking to automate vulnerability scanning in your CI/CD pipelines — this course was built for you.


The Problem


Most teams either:

  • Don't scan at all (and find vulnerabilities in production — or worse, from attackers)

  • Scan with one tool and drown in false positives

  • Have scanning but no triage process, so findings pile up in a backlog nobody touches


What This Course Covers


24 hands-on lessons across 7 chapters:


Foundations — Vulnerability landscape, scanning methodologies, threat modeling for scanner selection


SAST — How static analysis works under the hood, Semgrep custom rules, SonarQube integration, and false positive tuning (the most important skill nobody teaches)


DAST — OWASP ZAP automation framework, authenticated scanning, API security testing with Nuclei


SCA — Dependency risk management, Dependency-Track & Snyk, SBOM generation & supply chain security


Container & Infrastructure — Trivy container scanning, Checkov IaC scanning, Kubernetes security posture management


CI/CD Integration — Security gate design, complete GitHub Actions & GitLab CI workflows, multi-scanner orchestration with unified SARIF reporting


Operations at Scale — Security metrics & dashboards, vulnerability management lifecycle, building DevSecOps culture


Who This Is For


  • DevOps engineers adding security to existing pipelines

  • Platform engineers building internal developer platforms

  • Security engineers automating manual processes

  • Engineering managers building DevSecOps programs


What You'll Build


By the end, you'll have a complete, production-ready scanning pipeline with SAST, DAST, SCA, container, and IaC scanning — all integrated into CI/CD with proper gating, triage workflows, and executive dashboards.


Every lesson includes practical exercises with real tools you can run locally.
