An ongoing & curated collection of awesome software best practices and techniques, libraries and frameworks, E-books and videos, websites, blog posts, links to github Repositories, technical guidelines and important resources about DevSecOps in Cybersecurity.

Thanks to all contributors, you're awesome and wouldn't be possible without you! Our goal is to build a categorized community-driven collection of very well-known resources.

DevSecOps—short for development, security, and operations—automates the integration of security at every phase of the software development lifecycle, from initial design through integration, testing, deployment, and software delivery.

DevSecOps makes application and infrastructure security a shared responsibility of development, security, and IT operations teams, rather than the sole responsibility of a security silo. It enables “software, safer, sooner”—the DevSecOps motto–by automating the delivery of secure software without slowing the software development cycle.

DevSecOps is important for the following key reasons: speed, and security

• Rapid, cost-effective software delivery
• Improved, proactive security
• Accelerated security vulnerability patching
• Automation compatible with modern development
• A repeatable and adaptive process

• Introduction
  • Manifesto
  • Guidelines
  • Presentations

“The purpose and intent of DevSecOps is to build on the mindset that everyone is responsible for security with the goal of safely distributing security decisions at speed and scale to those who hold the highest level of context without sacrificing the safety required,” describes Shannon Lietz, co-author of the “DevSecOps Manifesto.”

It's important to build up knowledge by learning how to break applications left vulnerable by security mistakes. This section contains a list of vulnerable apps that can be deployed to learn what not to do. These same apps can be made safe by remediating the intentional vulnerabilities to learn how to prevent attackers from gaining access to underlying infrastructure or data.

• Damn Vulnerable Web Application (PHP/MySQL)
• LambHack (Lambda)
• Metasploitable (Linux)
• Mutillidae (PHP)
• NodeGoat (Node)
• OWASP Damn Vulnerable Serverless Application (DVSA) (AWS Serverless)
• OWASP Juice Shop (NodeJS/Angular)
• RailsGoat (Rails)
• WebGoat (Web App)
• WebGoat.Net (.NET)
• WebGoatPHP (PHP)
