# Building DevSecOps Pipeline with GitLab CI ## Overview GitLab provides an integrated DevSecOps platform that embeds security testing directly into the CI/CD pipeline. By leveraging GitLab's built-in security scanners---SAST, DAST, container scanning, dependency scanning, secret detection, and license compliance---teams can shift security left, catching vulnerabilities during development rather than post-deployment. GitLab Duo AI assists with false positive detection for SAST vulnerabilities, helping security teams focus on genuine issues. ## When to Use - When deploying or configuring building devsecops pipeline with gitlab ci capabilities in your environment - When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements - When building or improving security architecture for this domain - When conducting security assessments that require this implementation ## Prerequisites - GitLab Ultimate license (required for full security scanner suite) - GitLab Runner configured (shared or self-hosted) - `.gitlab-ci.yml` pipeline configuration familiarity - Docker-in-Docker (DinD) or Kaniko for container builds - Application deployed to a staging environment for DAST scanning ## Core Security Scanning Stages ### Static Application Security Testing (SAST) SAST analyzes source code for vulnerabilities before compilation. GitLab supports 14+ languages using analyzers such as Semgrep, SpotBugs, Gosec, Bandit, and NodeJsScan. The simplest inclusion uses GitLab's managed...
