Monitor your GitLab repositories and perform SAST, Secret Scanning automatically.
Overview
GitLab integration with DefendOps enables automatic SAST and secret scanning of your GitLab code repositories as part of your continuous integration (CI) process. By utilizing GitLab’s webhook functionality, DefendOps can track each commit, triggering security scans and ensuring that any vulnerabilities or sensitive information are identified before they make it to production.
Automated SAST Scans: Each commit to your GitLab repository triggers a security scan that analyzes your codebase for vulnerabilities. This process ensures that security issues are addressed early, preventing risks from reaching your production environment.
Secret Scanning: DefendOps scans for hardcoded secrets, credentials, and API keys in your code, preventing sensitive information from being exposed accidentally. These secrets can be detected and flagged in real-time, allowing your team to take immediate action.
Automated Pull Requests for Fixes: When security issues or secrets are detected, DefendOps can generate pull requests to suggest automated fixes for vulnerabilities or secrets, streamlining the remediation process without manual intervention.
Seamless CI/CD Integration: Easily integrate DefendOps with your GitLab CI/CD pipeline to monitor your repositories. Automatically trigger SAST and secret scanning as part of the commit process, ensuring continuous security checks for all code changes.
Additional Information
To integrate GitLab with DefendOps, you'll need to authenticate via the GitLab Application Provided. Upon a commit, DefendOps will receive a callback and trigger the SAST and secret scans for the code changes. You don't need to configure anything other than authenticating via the Hosted GitLab Application and choose the repositories that you want to monitor then leave the rest for DefendOps. For more details on GitLab Applications, please refer to GitLab’s official documentation at (https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/applications.html).
