What you'll learn

Many teams struggle to integrate security and compliance into their Azure Pipelines workflows, risking vulnerabilities, non-compliant deployments, and credential leaks. In this course, Security and Compliance in Azure Pipelines, you’ll gain the ability to enforce robust security and compliance practices throughout the CI/CD lifecycle.

First, you’ll explore integrating PSRule and secret-scanning tools like GitLeaks to validate infrastructure-as-code and prevent credential exposure. Next, you’ll discover how to add Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and implement pre-deployment Azure Policy gates to block non-compliant releases. Finally, you’ll learn how to automate remediation of non-compliant resources and configure real-time compliance reporting and alerts.

When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Azure Pipelines security and compliance needed to build secure, audit-ready workflows that align with enterprise standards and regulatory requirements.
