Secure your CI/CD pipelines with clear boundaries

CI/CD systems are valuable targets for malicious actors due to their access to code, internal systems, and secrets. To address potential security risks, it is crucial to establish boundaries using hardware and software configurations. This involves setting up granular access controls, maintaining open-source projects with care, and considering sensitivity and regulatory requirements when assigning access levels. Buildkite offers several mechanisms for enforcing security boundaries, such as clusters, queues, and tags. By implementing these measures, organizations can create a safe and secure software engineering environment while still benefiting from the advantages of CI/CD systems.
