Automate Security in CI/CD with StackHawk and Azure DevOps

In 2023, the integration of StackHawk with Azure Pipelines and Azure Boards is gaining attention as a means to enhance software security and project management. Azure Pipelines is a CI/CD tool that facilitates the building, testing, and deployment of applications, and with StackHawk, it incorporates application security testing to detect vulnerabilities before software reaches production. Setting up this integration involves installing the StackHawk Azure Extension and using tasks like HawkScanInstall and HawkScanRun to execute security scans. Azure Boards, a project management tool, benefits from StackHawk by allowing teams to create issues directly linked to security findings, streamlining the process of tracking and prioritizing vulnerabilities alongside other development tasks. This synergy between StackHawk and Azure's tools aims to provide development teams with more robust security measures and efficient project management workflows.
