🔒 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.
