Security testing for development¶

Why security testing matters¶

Security testing isn’t optional - it’s critical for:

• Preventing costly breaches before they happen

• Meeting compliance requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS)

• Maintaining customer trust in your products

• Reducing technical debt from security flaws

Implementing security testing¶

Automation is Key¶

• Integrate security tools into CI/CD pipelines

• Fail builds on critical vulnerabilities

• Use policy-as-code for enforcement

Getting started checklist¶

• Add SAST scanning to your CI pipeline

• Schedule monthly penetration tests

• Implement dependency scanning

• Train developers on secure code reviews

• Monitor production for new vulnerabilities
