Topic: Threats on CI/CD pipeline 

Language: English

Abstract

The main attraction point in cloud for most organizations is the ability to produce scalable and resilient applications - faster. One of the main foundations for that is the ability to create CI/CD pipelines that will automate the integration of new code to old code and the deployment of the code to the various testing and production environments. But as organizations continue to adopt CI/CD - there is an increasing number of attacks on the pipelines.

In this episode we spoke with Guy Flechter, Co-founder and CEO at Cider Security - on CI/CD relevant threats and risks and incidents that happened in the past and things we can learn from them.
