DevOps Pipeline - Security Build

Published 08/01/2026

Description

In this detailed DevOps security walkthrough, I show how to transform a traditional CI build pipeline into a fully secured, automated DevSecOps process. Step by step, I demonstrate how to integrate multiple security tools into a single Azure DevOps pipeline to detect vulnerabilities early—long before deployment. The video begins by explaining why security needs to be built into your CI/CD workflow, not bolted on at the end. From there, I cover several key tools used to strengthen your pipeline: dotnet list package --vulnerable: Scan your .NET solution for known vulnerabilities in NuGet dependencies and automatically fail builds with critical findings. Gitleaks: Detect exposed secrets such as API keys, passwords, and tokens in your repositories before they cause real-world security issues. Trivy: Perform deep scans on application dependencies, container images, and configuration files. Learn how to use Trivy in offline or on-prem environments for maximum flexibility. Microsoft Security DevOps: Leverage built-in Azure security scanning to consolidate and visualize results in a unified report. OWASP Dependency-Check: Integrate one of the most trusted open-source tools to identify known vulnerabilities in your third-party libraries. You’ll also learn how to standardize outputs using SARIF reports, automate pipeline failures when issues are detected, and manage security gates to maintain a stable release process. I share practical insights into running all these tools in air‑gapped environments, automating scans as part of nightly builds, and integrating the results into your team’s DevOps dashboards. By the end of this video, you’ll have a complete, production‑ready CI pipeline that continuously scans your source code, dependencies, and containers—making your software delivery both fast and secure. #DevOps #DevSecOps #AzureDevOps #DotNet #SecurityScanning #Trivy #Gitleaks #OWASP #DependencyCheck #MicrosoftSecurity #ContainerSecurity #SecureC
