Correct answer: Run source-code security analyzers as part of the CI/CD pipeline., Run a vulnerability scanner as part of the CI/CD pipeline..
Why this is the answer
To reduce accidental security errors while maintaining release speed, integrate security checks directly into the CI/CD pipeline. Running source-code security analyzers (Static Application Security Testing - SAST) identifies vulnerabilities early in the development cycle, as code is written. Running a vulnerability scanner (Dynamic Application Security Testing - DAST) against deployed applications in non-production environments catches issues that SAST might miss, like configuration errors or runtime flaws. Both are automated and fast, supporting agility. Requiring every check-in to be peer-reviewed by a security SME is too slow and creates a bottleneck. Stubs for unit testing focus on functional correctness, not security. Code signing and a trusted binary repository ensure integrity of artifacts but don't actively find security flaws in the code or deployed application.
