The DevSecOps career guide that didn't exist - until now.
DevSecOps is one of the fastest-growing disciplines in technology. Companies are desperate for engineers who can embed security into every phase of the software delivery pipeline. Entry-level salaries start above $80K and climb fast. But most books on the topic are 400-page reference manuals written for people who already have the job.
This book is different. It's written for college graduates, career switchers, and aspiring security engineers who want a clear, concise roadmap to getting hired.
What's inside:
* The complete DevSecOps pipeline - every phase of the software development lifecycle with security integrated at each stage
* OWASP Top 10 (2025 Edition) - all ten categories with real-world examples and detection strategies
* Security scanning deep dive - SAST, DAST, SCA, and IAST explained with tool recommendations and a minimum viable security stack you can set up for free
* Pipeline security - secrets management, dependency management, artifact signing, container security, and Infrastructure as Code scanning
* Cloud and Kubernetes security - shared responsibility model, IAM, network security, pod security, and common misconfigurations
* Compliance frameworks - SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, HIPAA, and PCI DSS mapped to DevSecOps practices
* Incident response - the NIST lifecycle, SIEM, alert design, blameless postmortems, and building runbooks
* Soft skills - cross-team communication, presenting findings, security champion programs, and the metrics that matter
* Career launch playbook - resume design with portfolio project templates, certification roadmap, home lab architecture, interview questions with answer frameworks, and a first-90-days plan
Every chapter maps directly to what hiring managers screen for.
Written by a Senior DevSecOps Engineer who has coached over 4,000 engineers on DevSecOps practices at organizations ranging from startups to the Fortune 10. No filler. No theory without application. Just the knowledge you need to get hired and hit the ground running.
Covers 2025 OWASP Top 10, current tooling landscape, and modern cloud-native security practices.
