Introduction

Welcome #

Welcome to Simple Notes - GitLab DevSecOps Introduction. This Project will help you gain a better understanding of how to successfully shift security left to find and fix security flaws during development and do so more easily, with greater visibility and control than typical approaches can provide.

Getting Started #

In order to get started, go through each of the lessons described within the workshop:

Lesson 1: Prerequisites
Lesson 2: Deploying the Demo Application
Lesson 3: Setting up and Configuring the Security Scanners and Policies
Lesson 4: Developer Workflow
Lesson 5: AppSec Workflow
