What is CI/CD?
Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CI/CD) is a development methodology and practice framework that automates integration, testing, and delivery processes in software development. CI/CD pipelines enable frequent, reliable, and secure releases of code to production environments. From a cybersecurity perspective, CI/CD integrates automated security checks, vulnerability analyses, and compliance testing directly into the development lifecycle.
Think of CI/CD as an assembly line for software. Just as an assembly line in a factory ensures each car undergoes the same quality testing before delivery, CI/CD ensures each code change is automatically built, tested, and validated before deployment. This creates predictable outcomes, identifies issues early, and integrates security controls as a natural part of the development process.
Sicra and CI/CD
Sicra has extensive experience implementing and securing CI/CD pipelines as a central part of our DevSecOps methodology. We help customers build secure, automated pipelines that integrate security checks at all stages of development. This includes everything from code analysis and vulnerability scanning to implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC), ensuring both applications and infrastructure are continuously tested and validated.
