How to embed security scanning into your pipelines without slowing your developers down.
Why shift left?
Security bugs found in production cost far more than ones caught in CI. See the OWASP guidance.
- Scan dependencies on every PR
- Fail the build on criticals
- Track exceptions with an owner
Shift left is a culture change, not a tool purchase.
A minimal pipeline step
npm audit --audit-level=high| Stage | Gate |
|---|---|
| PR | SAST + dependency scan |
| Merge | Container image scan |
