1. Introduction to Security Templates in GitLab
1.1 What are Security Templates?
Security templates in GitLab are predefined configurations and scripts designed to integrate security checks and controls into your CI/CD pipelines. They help automate security testing and vulnerability scanning, ensuring that your code is secure before it is deployed.
1.2 Importance of Security Templates
- Automated Security Checks: Integrate security testing directly into your CI/CD pipeline to detect vulnerabilities early.
- Consistency: Ensure consistent application of security practices across all projects.
- Compliance: Meet regulatory and organizational security requirements by incorporating standardized security tests.
