Summary

Integrating StackHawk's Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) into the CI/CD pipeline using Harness empowers development teams to detect and address security vulnerabilities early in the software development lifecycle, enhancing application security without compromising deployment speed. The process involves configuring StackHawk to scan applications for vulnerabilities by running tests against isolated instances, often containerized, and utilizing Harness to deploy applications to Kubernetes clusters. The guide outlines a detailed setup, including the installation of Harness delegates, configuration of environments, and orchestration of deployment pipelines that include security scans, interpretation of results, and conditional deployments based on scan outcomes. By leveraging these tools, teams can achieve a seamless DevSecOps workflow, enabling automated security checks and fostering a shift-left security approach, where security considerations are integrated into every stage of development.
