Summary

This chapter explored the use of Python and third-party tools to create automated security pipelines. We looked at how to use Python’s adaptability and third-party tools to automate several elements of security testing, such as vulnerability scanning and penetration testing. We discussed how Python can be integrated with popular third-party security solutions such as OWASP ZAP and Beagle Security’s API. We used various examples and code snippets to show how Python scripts may interact with these tools to automate processes such as vulnerability detection, compliance testing, and security assessment.

Furthermore, we went over best practices for creating resilient and dependable automated security pipelines. We investigated solutions for handling errors, logging, and monitoring to ensure the resilience of our automated workflows.

Overall, this chapter gave you a comprehensive understanding of how to leverage Python and third-party tools to automate and enhance...
