What is an effective way to integrate automated security scanning into a continuous integration (CI) pipeline?
AIgnore security testing during CI to speed up deployment
BRun manual security tests only after the final product release
CConfigure automated security tools to run after each code commit and block builds on critical vulnerabilities
DPerform security testing only on production servers
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand CI pipeline security integration
Integrating automated security scans into CI helps detect vulnerabilities early and prevents insecure code from progressing.
Step 2: Evaluate options
Configure automated security tools to run after each code commit and block builds on critical vulnerabilities describes running automated security tools after each commit and blocking builds if critical issues are found, which is best practice. Run manual security tests only after the final product release delays testing until after release, which is risky. Ignore security testing during CI to speed up deployment ignores security testing, which is unsafe. Perform security testing only on production servers tests only in production, which is too late and risky.
Final Answer:
Configure automated security tools to run after each code commit and block builds on critical vulnerabilities -> Option C
Quick Check:
Automate security scans early in CI [OK]
Quick Trick:Automate security scans in CI to catch issues early [OK]
Common Mistakes:
Skipping security tests during development
Relying only on manual testing after release
Testing only in production environment
