To make it easier to use Sigstore’s toolkit to its full potential, OpenSSF and Linux Foundation Training & Certification released a free online training course, Securing Your Software Supply Chain with Sigstore (LFS182x), designed with end users of Sigstore tooling in mind: software developers, DevOps engineers, security engineers, software maintainers, etc.
The free “Developing Secure Software” (LFD121) online training course is now available through SCORM Connect, so that organizations with their own SCORM-compliant Learning Management Systems (LMSs) can integrate the course into their own LMSs. Making this training that is available for free through Linux Foundation Training & Certification also accessible through LMS’ where students and developers already spend time, is yet another way OpenSSF is helping developers worldwide learn how to develop secure software.
