DevSecOps Practices

Summary

Integrating security tooling (SAST, SCA, secrets scanning) directly into CI/CD pipelines so security checks run automatically on every code change, rather than as a separate, disconnected process.

• 1Add a security scanning step (SAST or SCA) to a sample CI pipeline.
• 2Learn why automated security gates in a pipeline scale far better than manual security reviews alone.
• 3Understand DevSecOps as the practical implementation of 'shift left' from earlier in this phase.
