moai-security-devsecops: DevSecOps Pipeline Automation

SAST, DAST, SCA, and Vulnerability Management for CI/CD

Trust Score: 9.8/10 | Version: 4.0.0 | Last Updated: 2025-11-20

Overview

DevSecOps integrates security into the software development lifecycle with four pillars:

1. SAST: Static code analysis (SonarQube, Snyk, CodeQL)
2. DAST: Dynamic runtime testing (OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite)
3. SCA: Dependency vulnerability scanning (Trivy, Dependency-Check)
4. Automation: CI/CD integration with security gates

Industry adoption: 87% of enterprises implement DevSecOps by 2025

Core Architecture

DevSecOps Pipeline:
Commit → SAST (< 5 min) → SCA (< 2 min) → Tests → Deploy → DAST (15-30 min)

Benefits:
- 80% faster than traditional security
- 70% fewer vulnerabilities in production
- 24-48 hour remediation SLA vs 3-6 months

6.2 Zero Trust Security Patterns

Zero Trust Implementation:
1. Identity Verification: MFA for all access
2. Least Privilege: RBAC with minimal permissions
3. Continuous Verification: Every request authenticated
4. Assume Breach: Network segmentation, monitoring

Security Checklist:
- [ ] MFA enforced for all users
- [ ] Secrets encrypted in transit/rest
- [ ] Regular credential rotation
- [ ] Audit logging enabled
- [ ] Network segmentation implemented
- [ ] Regular security training

TRUST 5 Compliance

T: Test-First

• Security tests run before production deployment
• Automated vulnerability scanning in CI/CD
• Quality gates block critical vulnerabilities

R: Readable

• Clear severity classifications (CVSS scores)
• Actionable remediation recommendations
• Standardized security report formats

U: Unified

• Consistent vulnerability naming (CVE IDs)
• Standardized severity scales across tools
• Single security dashboard for visibility

S: Secured

• All scan results encrypted at rest
• API tokens stored securely (GitHub Secrets)
• RBAC controls for security data access

T: Trackable

• Vulnerability lifecycle tracking (Jira integration)
• SLA enforcement (24h critical, 72h high)
• Metrics: MTTR, vulnerability density, compliance rate
