Sessions
This is a hands-on workshop that provides participants with an introduction to secure software development and leveraging DevSecOps tooling to aid in this. Participants will learn about setting up a local development environment that includes security tooling. Following this, they will progress into learning how to use DevSecOps tooling within GitHub to detect security issues and flag accidentally committed secrets. The workshop will then conclude with a review of how GitHub runners and other features can be used to aid in secure deployments.
Having a GitHub account (which is free) set up in advance would be good. Optional: Have a license for Copilot or set up a 30-day trial: https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/quickstart
