CI/CD pipeline security protects the automated build, test, and deployment processes that deliver software to production. Key concerns include securing pipeline credentials, validating code integrity, scanning dependencies for vulnerabilities, preventing unauthorized changes to pipeline configurations, and ensuring artifact integrity. Compromised pipelines can inject malicious code into production deployments.
CI/CD pipelines are high-value targets because compromising one can affect every application it deploys. The SolarWinds attack demonstrated the catastrophic impact of pipeline compromise. Security engineers who can audit, harden, and monitor CI/CD pipelines protect the software supply chain. This skill is essential for DevSecOps and cloud security roles.
