Teaching DevOps Security Education with Hands-on Labware: Automated Detection of Security Weakness in Python

arXiv:2311.16944v2 Announce Type: replace
Abstract: The field of DevOps security education necessitates innovative approaches to effectively address the ever-evolving challenges of cybersecurity. In adopting a student-centered ap-proach, there is the need for the design and development of a comprehensive set of hands-on learning modules. In this paper, we introduce hands-on learning modules that enable learners to be familiar with identifying known security weaknesses, based on taint tracking to accurately pinpoint vulnerable code. To cultivate an engaging and motivating learning environment, …
