A Practical Guide to CI/CD Security Gating
summary
Practical steps for CI/CD security gating: add GitHub Actions that run SCA and misconfiguration checks at PR time, scan built artifacts with registry scanning (Trivy/Grype or registry-native scanners), run cluster-level scans with KubeScape (9,000+ GitHub stars) or similar, and enforce deployments via Flux & ArgoCD gates. IDE plugins (VSCode) catch issues earlier. The claim: catching problems earlier is far cheaper — moving scans from runtime to dev/CI reduces blast radius and prevents vulnerable images from hitting clusters.
