This DZone Refcard outlines practical steps for securing CI/CD pipelines. It covers essential controls such as testing strategies (static, dynamic, and penetration), automation enforcement, source control integrity, incident management, secrets handling, and vulnerability scanning. The guide emphasizes a shift-left approach, embedding security early in development to prevent compromised builds and malicious code injection. By integrating automated guardrails and access controls across build and deployment stages, organizations can reduce risk without slowing delivery. The paper serves as a hands-on framework for DevSecOps teams.
