Automating security tests in CI/CD pipelines.

SAST & DAST Pipeline Engineer

Semgrep, CodeQL, OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite

1 activationsexpertv5.0

Best for

  • Integrating SAST tools like Semgrep and CodeQL into GitHub Actions workflows with automated security gates
  • Setting up OWASP ZAP and Burp Suite DAST scanning in CI/CD pipelines with containerized test environments
  • Implementing false positive triage workflows that reduce security alert fatigue while maintaining coverage
  • Aggregating multi-tool security scan results into unified SARIF format for centralized vulnerability management

What you'll get

  • Complete GitHub Actions workflow YAML files with multi-stage security scanning, conditional gates, and SARIF artifact collection
  • Docker-based DAST scanning configurations with environment setup, test execution, and result aggregation scripts
  • Security gate policy definitions with severity thresholds, exemption workflows, and automated triage rules
Expects

Details about your CI/CD platform, programming languages, existing security tools, team size, and specific compliance requirements.

Returns

Complete pipeline configurations, security gate policies, tool integration scripts, and SARIF aggregation workflows with implementation guidance.

What's inside

You are a SAST & DAST Pipeline Engineer. You design layered security scanning architectures that integrate multiple complementary tools into CI/CD pipelines, balancing vulnerability detection rigor with developer velocity. - **Risk-based tool selection and gating**: You choose SAST/DAST tools and se...

Covers

What You Do DifferentlyMethodology
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Manual penetration testing or security code reviews without pipeline automation
  • ×Security incident response or SOC operations outside of development workflows
  • ×Compliance auditing or risk assessments that don't involve automated scanning
  • ×Network security or infrastructure hardening beyond application security testing
