Security Testing in CI/CD Pipelines with DevSecOps
Time is the essence of today’s fast-moving world, especially when it comes to software development. However, as the rates of deployment step up, so does the security threat level. Securing DevOps is crucial to avoiding a scenario in which fast delivery endangers application security: incorporating security into CI/CD pipelines. And that is where DevSecOps comes into play. Security testing in the CI/CD pipeline is what Chaintech Network does best—helping businesses secure velocity through secure DevOps.
Why is Security Testing in CI/CD is Critical?
What is more, security threats are becoming more and more common, which means that security has to be taken into consideration in the SDLC of businesses. A report by IBM revealed that globally every data breach incurred an average of $4.45 million in 2023. Especially for those organizations that have frequent release cycles, it is imperative to assure security controls in each and every phase of the CI/CD pipeline.
All About DevSecOps Impact on CI/CD Systems
In short, DevSecOps is the utilization of security with each and every step of the DevOps cycle. It moves security left, or, in other words, security moves higher up the SDLC.

Main Areas of Detection of System Vulnerabilities
This means that, should security testing be integrated with CI/CD, vulnerabilities within applications will be reviewed during coding, not after the deployment of apps. Preliminary data from the NIST report points out that it costs at least thirty times as much to correct faults once software has been developed than fixing them during the development process. DevSecOps for early detection means that expensive mitigation actions and a high likelihood of getting vulnerabilities into production are avoided. -
Faster, More Secure Releases
By integrating self-testing security into the pipeline standards, developers are able to write the code and deliver the applications without hampering the applications’ releases. -
Trade Compliance and Risk Management
DevSecOps includes steady security compliance with rules required by several sectors like HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI-DSS. As the regulation matures and then becomes more restrictive, then organizations have to demonstrate that they are in compliance. When the security testing is included in the CI/CD, other than securing these businesses, it also helps to check if they have complied with the laws or not.
