The Certified DevSecOps Professional (CDP) is a practitioner-level certification in DevSecOps issued by Practical DevSecOps, a subsidiary of HYSN Technologies Inc. The certification evaluates competency in integrating security practices into continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines and is listed in the CISA national training catalog.
Issuing organization
[edit]Practical DevSecOps is operated by HYSN Technologies Inc., incorporated in Delaware with offices in Newark, New Jersey, and Singapore. The company was founded by Mohammed A. Imran, a security professional who delivered training at Black Hat USA 2018 titled "Practical DevSecOps: Continuous Security in the Age of Cloud."[1] Practical DevSecOps instructors have also delivered training at Hack In The Box (HITB) international security conferences, including HITBSecConf Singapore and HITB CyberWeek.[2][3]

Exam format
[edit]The CDP exam consists of five scenario-based challenges administered within a 12-hour hands-on window, followed by a 24-hour period for report submission. Candidates must achieve a minimum score of 80% to pass. The examination contains no multiple-choice questions; performance is assessed entirely within a live lab environment.[6]
