WPT 01DevSecOps: Security as Code
DevSecOps integrates security practices into the DevOps workflow, making security everyone's responsibility and catching issues early in the development lifecycle.
WPT 02Pipeline Security Stages
Pre-Commit
Catch issues before code is committed:
- Secret scanning with git-secrets
- Pre-commit hooks for linting
- Local security testing
Build Stage
Analyze code during the build:
- Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
- Software Composition Analysis (SCA)
- Container image scanning
Test Stage
Security testing alongside functional tests:
- Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)
- API security testing
- Penetration testing automation
Deploy Stage
Verify before deployment:
- Infrastructure as Code scanning
- Configuration validation
- Compliance checks
WPT 03Tool Selection
Choose tools that integrate well:
- SAST: SonarQube, Checkmarx
- SCA: Snyk, Dependabot
- Container scanning: Trivy, Aqua
- DAST: OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite
WPT 04Cultural Change
Tools alone aren't enough:
- Train developers on secure coding
- Make security metrics visible
- Celebrate security improvements
WPT 05Conclusion
Building a DevSecOps pipeline is a journey. Start with high-impact, low-friction tools and expand as your team matures.
