With continuous integration, delivery, and deployment, also known as CI/CD, you must automate the code. First, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) must be used to provide consistency. In addition, scanning and testing your code as part of your secure development life cycle is mandatory. There are several tools that you will want to use as part of this testing: static application security testing (SAST), dynamic application security testing (DAST), interactive application security testing (IAST), and vulnerability scanning of your code.
