WICCA Summerschool 2023 - DevSecOps Fundamentals

We are super happy and proud to announce that Summer School 2023 is on! Thanks to our lovely WICCAN Tess at Unixerius we will teach you all the DevSecOps Fundamentals.

The perfect opportunity to learn something new!

DevSecops is an evolution of DevOps, by including more and more security into the process. You may have heard the term "shift-left security" in many marketing materials. We're going to help you understand what that means!

Practical information

Unixerius are sponsoring this WICCA Summer School training; it is free to attend.

The training takes place:

• Monday July 24th, through Friday July the 28th.
• Five days, from 09:00-16:00.
• At MAC3Park in Almere Buiten (travel information here).
• You need to attend the entire training in person.

Registration

A maximum of fifteen (15) participants can be accommodated. Registrations are handled via this Meetup page.

When registering we will ask you to let us know why you want to do this training so we can make sure we give the right people the chance to do this training. If we think we need more information, have questions or think this might not be the right training for you we will contact you to clarify (check your Meetup messages every now and then).

We can let 15 participants register now, but not everyone might be able to attend or might be suited for the training so we will open a waitlist as well. If someone drops out the first on the waitlist will get that spot, so please also answer the questions if you end up on the waitlist.

Requirements
In order to get the fullest experience in this class, students will need the following prior knowledge:

• At least one year of working with Linux and Windows server operating systems.
• Fundamental conceptual knowledge of computer networks: TCP/IP, DNS, firewalls, load balancers.
• At least one year of experience with a scripting language, like Bash or Powershell.

Ideally, students will have a conceptual understanding of common software vulnerabilities as described in the OWASP Top 10. This is not a hard requirement, but it will absolutely help in understanding the goal of DevSecOps.

Programming experience is not needed. We will work with a demo project in Angular/NodeJS, but we will not be working on the actual source code.

To participate in this class, students need a laptop of their own.

• With Windows 10/11, Linux, or MacOS.
• With a recent i5/i7/i9 or AMD Ryzen2 processor
• With at least 8GB of RAM.
• With at least 60GB of available storage space.
• Virtualbox 6.1.x and Vagrant pre-installed.

Unfortunately we do not have lab setup which is compatible with Apple ARM.

Students will be provided with a Vagrantfile, to build the lab VM before class.
