# Section 1 Topics

> This section defines DevSecOps, contrasts it with traditional DevOps, and identifies key security checkpoints in the Software Development Lifecycle.

Welcome to **Section 1** of this lesson. In this section, we'll:

* Define **DevSecOps** and contrast it with traditional DevOps
* Identify key security checkpoints within each phase of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)
* Provide an at-a-glance toolchain to support your DevSecOps workflow

Let’s dive in!
