DevSecOps for Pentesters

DevSecOps is a combination of Development, Security, and Operations. DevSecOps represents a shift in how organizations approach security in software development. Integrating security practices throughout the development life cycle leads to the early detection and mitigation of security issues.

In this chapter, we’ll explore the role of pentesters within a DevSecOps framework. We’ll examine how Bash scripting can be used to automate and enhance security processes. From integrating security checks into Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines to building custom security tools, we’ll cover practical techniques that can help pentesters in a DevSecOps setting.
