LoopyLuci DevSecOps and Shift-Left Security
Implementing DevSecOps practices — from SAST/DAST/SCA scanning in CI through threat modeling, secrets detection, and security champions program.
When to Use
- Integrating security into development workflows
- Shifting security testing left (earlier in development)
- Automating vulnerability scanning in CI/CD
- Building security champions culture
DevSecOps Tools
DEVSECOPS_TOOLS = {
'sast': 'Static Analysis — Semgrep, SonarQube, CodeQL — find vulnerabilities in source code',
'dast': 'Dynamic Analysis — OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite — test running applications',
'sca': 'Software Composition Analysis — Dependabot, Snyk, Trivy — dependency vulnerabilities',
'secrets': 'Secret detection — GitGuardian, truffleHog, Gitleaks — prevent credential leaks',
'container_scan': 'Image scanning — Trivy, Grype, Clair — vulnerabilities in container images',
}

Verification Checklist
- SAST scanning in PR pipeline (fail on critical findings)
- SCA/dependency scanning automated (alert on new CVEs)
- Secrets scanning in pre-commit hooks and CI
- DAST scheduled for deployed applications
- Container image scanning in CI
- Threat modeling for new features (STRIDE)
- Security champions program across development teams
- Security training for developers (OWASP Top 10)
