Automating Security in a Continuous Integration Pipeline

Traditional approaches to software security are based on manual methods, which tend to stall development,
leading to inefficiency. To speed up a software development lifecycle, security needs to be integrated and
automated into the development process. This paper will identify solutions for automating the security phase
into a continuous software delivery process, integrating security tools into a Github repository by using Github
Actions to create automated vulnerability scanning workflows for a software project.
