Introduction:

In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, ensuring the security of software applications is of paramount importance. One way to achieve this is by implementing a robust DevSecOps pipeline that integrates security practices seamlessly into the software development lifecycle. In this article, we will explore how to integrate different security tools into each stage of the DevSecOps pipeline, ensuring code security from the very beginning.

1. Checkout Project (e.g — Git):

stage('Checkout Project') {
  steps {
    // Add steps to clone the repository
    // For example, using Git
    git url: 'https://github.com/your/repository.git'
  }
}

2. Git Secret Check (e.g — Git Secrets):

stage('Git Secret Check') {
  steps {
    // Install and run Git Secrets
    sh 'git secrets --scan'
  }
}

3. SAST (e.g — SonarQube):

stage('Static Code Analysis (SAST)') {
  steps {
    // Execute SonarQube analysis using the SonarQube Scanner
    withSonarQubeEnv('SonarQube Server') {
      sh 'sonar-scanner'
    }
  }
}

4. SCA (e.g — OWASP Dependency check):

stage('Software Composition Analysis (SCA)') {
  steps {
    // Execute an SCA tool, such as OWASP Dependency Check or Snyk
    sh 'dependency-check --project your-project --scan .'
  }
}

5. Container Audit (e.g — Trivy / Docker Security Scan):

stage('Container Audit') {
  steps {
    // Scan the container image for vulnerabilities
    sh 'docker scan your-container-image'
  }
}

6. DAST(e.g — OWASP ZAP):

stage('Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)') {
  steps {
    // Execute DAST tool against the application
    sh 'zap-cli --start --spider your-application-url && zap-cli --scan --policy your-policy-file'
  }
}

7. System Security Audit (e.g — lysis):

stage('System Security Audit') {
  steps {
    // Run system security audit tool
    sh 'lynis audit system'
  }
}

8. Vulnerability Tracking and Compliance (e.g -Bugzilla):

stage('Vulnerability Tracking and Compliance') {
  steps {
    // Create tickets or issues for identified vulnerabilities
    sh 'jira-cli create-issue --project your-project --summary "Vulnerability found" --description "Details of the vulnerability"'
  }
}

These are just examples, and you can customize them based on the specific tools and configurations you use in your environment. Remember to install the required tools and plugins in your Jenkins instance or CI/CD platform
