The Problem
Deploy happens at 3 PM.
Breach discovered at 3:17 PM.
Root cause: Vulnerability deployed 17 minutes ago.
Traditional security: "We'll catch it in next month's pentest."
Too late.
The Solution: Security in CI/CD
Shift security left.
Catch vulnerabilities before they reach production.
Here's how.
Step 1: Pre-Commit Hook
#!/bin/bash
# .git/hooks/pre-commit
echo "Running security scan..."
# Run HuntShield quick scan
huntshield scan --staged --fail-on-critical
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "❌ Security issues found. Commit blocked."
exit 1
fi
echo "✅ Security check passed."
Step 2: CI Pipeline
# .github/workflows/security.yml
name: Security Scan
on:
pull_request:
branches: [main]
jobs:
security:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- name: HuntShield Scan
run: |
npx huntshield scan \
--target ${{ env.DEPLOY_PREVIEW_URL }} \
--fail-on-high \
--report security-report.json
- name: Upload Report
uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
with:
name: security-report
path: security-report.json
Step 3: Staging Deployment
# Deploy to staging first
- name: Deploy to Staging
run: ./deploy.sh staging
# Run comprehensive scan
- name: HuntShield Full Scan
run: |
huntshield scan \
--target ${{ env.STAGING_URL }} \
--comprehensive \
--wait
# Only deploy to production if clean
- name: Deploy to Production
if: success()
run: ./deploy.sh production
Step 4: Production Monitoring
# Continuous scanning in production
- name: Schedule Production Scan
run: |
huntshield scan \
--target ${{ env.PRODUCTION_URL }} \
--continuous \
--alert-on-critical
Results
