Summary

Buildkite Pipelines is an open and extensible continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) platform that supports the integration of third-party tools through a lightweight plugin system, catering to development teams' diverse needs. It emphasizes the importance of DevSecOps, which integrates security into the entire development cycle, allowing teams to identify and resolve security issues early in the process. The platform has announced a new integration with Lacework, a data-driven cloud security platform, which enhances security practices without compromising development velocity. Lacework's capabilities include software composition analysis (SCA), infrastructure-as-code (IaC) scanning, container vulnerability scanning, and static application security testing (SAST), all of which are integrated into Buildkite pipelines to provide real-time visibility into security risks. This integration allows teams to address potential security threats in their software supply chain, infrastructure, and code before they escalate, fostering a culture of proactive security awareness among developers. The article concludes by emphasizing the need for a cultural shift towards security in development processes, encouraging collaboration and prioritizing security as a fundamental component of software delivery.
