Automated Security Checks in Jenkins: A Step Towards DevSecOps

As software development accelerates, the integration of security practices within CI/CD pipelines becomes essential to preemptively mitigate vulnerabilities.

1. Why We Need This Use Case

As software development accelerates, the integration of security practices within CI/CD pipelines becomes essential to preemptively mitigate vulnerabilities. This use case demonstrates how to embed security checks directly into Jenkins, enabling seamless security practices from development through deployment, specifically in Azure environments.

2. When We Need This Use Case

This use case is crucial when:

• Implementing DevSecOps in a CI/CD pipeline with Jenkins.

• Automating security checks and vulnerability scans within the Azure DevOps lifecycle.

• Requiring efficient handling of security across development and operations for containerized applications.

• Enforcing security policies to comply with regulatory standards for applications.
