CI/CD Is Not the Problem. Your Processes Are.

CI/CD does not fail in obvious ways. It drifts.

Permissions expand over time. Pipelines multiply. Security controls are added but not integrated. Each decision makes sense in isolation. Together, they create exposure.

Vulnerabilities are not always introduced by attackers. They emerge from misalignment. Developers are measured on speed, not security. Policies exist but are not enforced. Tools are deployed but not connected. Risk accumulates quietly inside the system.

This ebook explores how self-inflicted risk takes shape inside modern DevSecOps environments and why most security failures begin long before an external threat appears. You will learn how fragmentation, incentive gaps, and operational blind spots undermine CI/CD and what it takes to realign security with development to restore control, visibility, and velocity.
