Kontra and GitLab integrate vulnerability education into the DevOps workflow

Interactive training labs by Kontra Application Security, a ThriveDX company, have been integrated into the GitLab DevOps platform, providing developers with interactive security training directly within the Merge Request and pipeline experiences. This integration facilitates quick learning and resolution of vulnerabilities identified through automated security scans and other sources such as penetration tests or bug bounty programs. Kontra offers scalable and advanced security simulations designed to equip developers with the skills needed to build and maintain secure application code by simulating real-life security incidents. These short, engaging training sessions, available in multiple programming languages and frameworks, help developers understand the risk and impact of vulnerabilities from an attacker's perspective, and address the gap in traditional security education that often lacks actionable content. The training is prominently placed within GitLab's vulnerabilities management features, allowing developers and security professionals to access relevant tutorials directly from vulnerabilities details pages, enhancing their ability to proactively prevent and resolve security issues.
