In CI/CD, does security play an important role? How does it get secured?
There are many factors that affect the security of CI/CD pipelines.
These include :
* The importance of unit testing cannot be overstated when it comes to the testing of multiple unit-testable distributed components. It is therefore important to unit test your code properly.
* Static analysis security testing (SAST) scans your code for security vulnerabilities and the libraries you use. To ensure SAST scanning, all modern tools integrate well with the CD pipeline.
* DAST (dynamic analysis security testing) is a tool for securing your application by dynamically scanning for security vulnerabilities. It simulates the actions of an attacker by performing the tests outside the application.
