What is DevSecOps? Integrating Security into Modern CI/CD Pipelines

Security can no longer operate as an eleventh-hour deployment roadblock. The DevSecOps paradigm operationalizes continuous security validation natively across every stage of the software delivery lifecycle.

# Pipeline Integration Stages

[1]Pre-Commit Secrets Scanning: Halting accidental API token leaks via pre-commit hooks (Gitleaks).

[2]SAST (Static Analysis): Evaluating code syntax for insecure patterns during pull-request creation (Semgrep).

[3]SCA (Dependency Governance): Verifying all open-source packages against vulnerability databases (Trivy).

[4]DAST (Runtime Assessment): Running automated fuzzing against staging environments (OWASP ZAP).

[5]Cryptographic Artifact Signing: Enforcing image provenance through Cosign signatures prior to production deployment.
