SOURCE CONTROL + CI/CD SECURITY

CI/CD Security for the modern software factory.

Secure every change from developer and AI-generated code through build, test, deployment, and production. Continuously find security weaknesses, govern access, prioritize exploitable risk, and verify remediation across the software delivery lifecycle.

WHAT IS CI/CD SECURITY?

Protect the software delivery pipeline from source code to production.

CI/CD security combines application security testing, software supply chain security, secrets detection, infrastructure security, access controls, and security policy enforcement to identify and prevent unacceptable risk as software moves through build, test, and deployment workflows.

The modern software factory includes source control, CI/CD pipelines, build systems, dependencies, developer identities, AI coding tools, infrastructure automation, and deployment environments.

THE SOFTWARE FACTORY CHANGED

Software isn't built by developers alone anymore.

Source control and CI/CD connect the people, machines, and AI systems that create and deliver software. Every one of them can change your application risk.

PEOPLE

Developers create and approve change.

Developers, DevOps teams, platform engineers, and contractors work across repositories and pipelines.

AUTOMATION

Pipelines build and deploy change.

Build systems, CI/CD workflows, service accounts, and deployment infrastructure move software toward production.

AI

Agents can now create change.

Coding assistants, AI agents, and MCP-connected tools can generate code and participate directly in development workflows.

CONTINUOUS CI/CD SECURITY

Secure every change before it becomes risk.

Apply the right application-security checks as software moves from source control toward production.

FOCUS ON THE RISK THAT MATTERS

Security tools find issues. Context tells you what matters.

Security tools can generate hundreds of separate findings across code, dependencies, infrastructure, identities, and runtime. Aptori shows how those findings relate to the application so teams can identify which risks are exploitable, what they affect, and where to fix them.

SOURCE CONTROL ACCESS

Every path to production begins with an identity.

Source control security is also about who—or what—can create, approve, modify, and deploy software.

DEVELOPERS

Human access

Understand repository, branch, and development access.

MACHINE IDENTITIES

Automation access

Control which pipelines, services, and automation can modify or deploy software.

AI AGENTS

Agent permissions

Control which AI agents can create code, use development tools, or change infrastructure.

CREDENTIALS

Secrets + privileges

Identify sensitive credentials and the access they enable.

AI-GENERATED CODE SECURITY

Secure AI-generated code in CI/CD.

AI is changing who writes software—and how fast. Discover AI coding assistants and agents, control what they can access and change, test generated code, and apply the same security standards to every software change.

SOFTWARE AUTHORS

Humans + AI

Developers, coding assistants, autonomous agents, and MCP-connected tools create change.

SOURCE CONTROL + CI/CD

Every change enters the same workflow.

Code, dependencies, configuration, and infrastructure changes move toward production.

SECURITY STANDARD

Human-written or AI-generated. Same security standard. Every change.

Continuously test, prioritize, govern, and verify before release.

DEVELOPER EXPERIENCE

Security belongs in the workflow—not in the way.

Give developers the evidence, root cause, and remediation guidance they need where software changes are reviewed.

FAQ

Source Control & CI/CD Security.

What is CI/CD security?

CI/CD security protects the software delivery process by continuously testing code, dependencies, secrets, infrastructure, containers, APIs, and deployment changes while preventing unacceptable risk from progressing toward production.

What is source control security?

Source control security protects repositories, code changes, credentials, access, and development workflows so that authorized and sufficiently secure changes progress toward production.

How do you secure a CI/CD pipeline?

Secure a CI/CD pipeline by controlling access, protecting secrets, testing code and dependencies, validating infrastructure and containers, enforcing security policy, and preventing high-risk changes from progressing toward production.

How does AI-generated code change CI/CD security?

AI coding assistants and agents can create software changes at greater speed. Organizations increasingly need visibility into AI development tools, agent permissions, generated-code security, and the controls applied to automated changes.

What security tests should run in CI/CD?

Depending on the application and stage, CI/CD security can include SAST, software composition analysis, secrets detection, IaC security, container security, API security, security policy checks, and application behavior testing.
