Catch vulnerabilities early. Block risky commits. Test live apps like an attacker. All without slowing your team down.

In my latest post, I walk you through how to set up SAST (Static Analysis) and DAST (Dynamic Analysis) in GitLab CI/CD — fully automated, low-friction, and ready for scale.
Here’s what’s inside:

  • ✅ Local scans with Bandit & Gitleaks via pre-commit
  • 🔁 CI jobs for Trivy, Bandit, and Gitleaks
  • 🌐 Full OWASP ZAP DAST integration after deploy
  • 💡 Tips for blocking commits with high-risk findings
  • 📈 Security pipelines that scale with your codebase

Whether you’re running a solo app or a whole platform, this setup will help you:

  • 🚫 Stop risky code before it hits main
  • 🛠 Build a real security baseline
  • 💥 Automate security without slowing devs down
