Securing The Build: Strengthen The Pipeline Without Slowing Delivery
Why security vs. speed in CI/CD is a false choice, and how to fix both at once.
Security versus speed is the oldest excuse in DevOps, and it’s a false choice. In this episode, we dig into how build systems quietly accumulate excessive privileges, and why secrets, tokens, and service accounts have become the attack paths adversaries target first. We break down the shift from bolt-on manual gates to policy embedded directly in the pipeline, and make the case that DevOps done right makes security and speed reinforce each other instead of competing.
