This guide provides practical steps to secure CI/CD pipelines. The checklist format includes scanning open source dependencies, validating IaC templates, monitoring licenses, and integrating security tools directly into developer environments for early detection. It also recommends using SAST for custom code, scanning container images, and implementing continuous monitoring for post-deployment vulnerabilities. The guide highlights three deployment strategies: native plugins, CLI tools, and container scanning. The key takeaway is that CI/CD security depends on integrating automated security checks at every stage—from development to deployment—to prevent vulnerabilities from reaching production.
