CI/CD Pipeline Security vs. IDE plugins vs. Pipelineless Security
Blog post from Arnica
The debate in Application Security revolves around whether scanning should occur within CI/CD pipelines or via IDE plugins on a developer's local environment. While both methods have their benefits, such as consistent guardrails and immediate feedback for the former, and low privileges setup and partial code coverage for the latter, they also come with drawbacks like limited code coverage and alert fatigue. Arnica introduces Pipelineless Security, a solution that leverages direct integrations into source code management tools to scan every event from 'git push' onwards. This approach provides 100% coverage of the development ecosystem, blameless developer feedback, and makes fixes easy without taking developers out of their workflow.
