Azure Pipelines allows users to automate their builds, tests, and deployments, making it easier for them to focus on writing applications. As application security ownership shifts left, building security policy into Azure Pipelines becomes critical. The Snyk Security Scan task integrates with Azure Pipelines, scanning application dependencies and container images for open source security vulnerabilities as part of the CI/CD workflow, providing users with a way to test and monitor for vulnerabilities quickly and easily.
