DevSecOps Index

Purpose

This index is the root entry point for the DevSecOps branch of the cybersecurity vault.

Use it to: - connect secure development, CI/CD, dependency risk, secrets handling, and container delivery - reason about software risk before runtime - map security controls into the developer workflow instead of bolting them on later - turn secure-by-design ideas into engineering practices

Use Reference Registry — DevSecOps as the source of truth for references in this branch. Return to Cybersecurity Index for root navigation across branches.

Before this branch: - Foundations (Phase 0). - Web Security and Cryptography — build-pipeline threats inherit both.


Phase 1 — Secure development foundations

  1. nist-ssdf
  2. secure-by-design
  3. asvs-as-dev-process-input

Phase 2 — Supply chain and dependencies

  1. supply-chain-security
  2. dependency-risk
  3. artifact-integrity

Phase 3 — Pipeline and release controls

  1. ci-cd-hardening
  2. branch-protection-and-release-controls
  3. secrets-management

Phase 4 — Container and build delivery

  1. container-security
  2. image-scanning
  3. sbom-and-provenance
