What problem does it solve?
This Skill prevents insecure software from advancing by embedding DevSecOps security controls—scanning, supply-chain verification, secrets hygiene, and policy enforcement—directly into your CI/CD workflow.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Shift-left CI/CD security: Enforces secret scanning, SAST, and dependency vulnerability checks on every PR with fail-fast merge gates.
- Supply chain & artifact integrity: Requires SBOM generation, dependency verification, and signed container images (e.g., cosign), with attestation-aware policy.
- Runtime & infrastructure security: Hardens Kubernetes workloads with least privilege (non-root, dropped capabilities), defense-in-depth (default-deny network policies), and compliance as code (OPA/Kyverno-style policies).
- Use Cases: Secure your pipeline stages for GitHub Actions/GitLab CI, implement SBOM + image signing, enforce security policies for Kubernetes manifests, and add DAST gates (OWASP ZAP) after staging deployment.
Quick Start
Use the devsecops-expert Skill to design a CI/CD security gate pipeline that fails builds on high-severity SAST/SCA findings, generates an SBOM, signs images, and deploys only after policy-enforced approval.
