DevSecOps

February 15, 2025

Applied research on integrating security into CI/CD pipelines shift-left controls, automated scanning, policy gates, and measurable risk reduction in multi-cloud delivery.

Research focus

This track documents repeatable DevSecOps patterns used in production pipelines: how to embed security checks without blocking delivery, how to measure control effectiveness, and how to align engineering teams around shared security outcomes.

Research questions

  1. Which security gates belong in CI vs CD vs runtime?
  2. How do teams reduce false positives without skipping critical findings?
  3. What metrics best correlate with fewer production incidents?

Deliverables in this series

  • Shift-left security architecture
  • SAST/DAST pipeline integration patterns
  • Secrets and credential lifecycle in automated builds
  • Container image scanning workflows
  • Infrastructure policy enforcement with IaC scanners
