1. CI/CD pipelines are the new favorite attack vector, with risks ranging from open-source vulnerabilities to misconfigured deployments.
2. Devtron integrates scanning, policy enforcement, and real-time alerts into the CI/CD process, without slowing down developers.
3. DevSecOps becomes a reality with Devtron's out-of-the-box SSO, RBAC, and compliance readiness.
4. Teams using Devtron report up to 70% fewer post-production vulnerabilities and a faster mean time to resolution (MTTR).
5. No plug-ins or third-party setup needed, Devtron bakes security into your native CI/CD workflows.
Why CI/CD Pipelines Are the New Attack Surface
Speed kills when security trails behind. Modern CI/CD pipelines, with their webhooks, third-party dependencies, and automation, have become prime targets for attackers. Here’s how to lock them down.
Growing risks: From supply chain attacks to secrets leakage
Modern DevOps pipelines pull from public repositories, build containers, and deploy at speed. This velocity has a cost, introducing the risk of supply chain attacks, secret leaks, and vulnerable open-source components.
Need for shift-left + continuous scanning across SDLC
Security must move earlier in the SDLC (shift-left), but also stay continuous, scanning artifacts, code, and configurations at every step.
Devtron secures every commit, container, and deploy.
Devtron’s Built-in Security Tooling — No 3rd-Party Guesswork

- Pre-integrated security scan engine
- Configurable risk thresholds
- Context-rich alerts mapped to CVEs
How Devtron Scans & Secures Every Stage of Your Pipeline
Security isn’t a checkpoint – it’s a continuous thread woven through your pipeline. Here’s how we automate protection from the first commit to production runtime
Code commit to container build: Scan before artifacts reach staging. Scans are triggered automatically during the build phase. Vulnerabilities are identified before containers are pushed to staging environments.
Policy-as-code enforcement: Block vulnerable builds. Devtron allows teams to define policies as code. Builds with critical vulnerabilities are blocked from progressing.
Alerts and fail-safes: Prevent misconfigured or non-compliant pushes. Teams receive real-time alerts for policy violations. Optional fail-safes halt non-compliant pipelines immediately.
Security Without Developer Bottlenecks
Shift-left security shouldn't mean shift-left frustration. Devtron bakes protection into existing workflows so engineers can focus on shipping, not security triage.
Inline scanning with zero context switching: Scanning happens within the Devtron UI no extra tools or dashboard hopping. Developers stay in flow.
Automated feedback in Devtron UI: fix vulnerabilities fast. Devtron highlights issues directly in the pipeline view, providing remediation tips or links to fix CVEs instantly.
Central security dashboard for DevOps + security teams: Security leaders get a consolidated dashboard with trends, history, and compliance insights across projects.
Integration with DevSecOps Practices
Security isn't just about detection – it's about action. Devtron correlates risks with operational context, turning isolated alerts into auditable remediation workflows.
Combine vulnerability data with audit trails: All scans are logged and attached to CI/CD audit logs, helping teams demonstrate compliance during audits.
Enforce image security and policy gating: Only pre-scanned and approved container images move through the pipeline.
Seamlessly plug into existing SSO, RBAC, and approval flows: Devtron integrates with your existing authentication and access controls. Security becomes part of your everyday operations.
Real-World Security Impact from Devtron Users
While most security tools promise theoretical protection, Devtron users measure results in reduced incidents and reclaimed engineering hours.
70% fewer post-prod CVEs after adopting Devtron scanning: Teams using Devtron report significantly fewer critical CVEs reaching production.
Example: SaaS startup scaled compliance readiness in 4 weeks fast-growing SaaS firm onboarded Devtron and reached SOC2 readiness in under a month, cutting vulnerability response time by 60%.
Devtron vs Traditional Scanning Tools
Traditional scanners create security silos. Devtron bakes protection directly into your existing workflows - no new consoles, no alert fatigue, just actionable security where you already work.
No extra setup: scanning is baked into a native pipeline. Devtron’s zero-config scanning contrasts with legacy solutions that require separate integration and configuration.
One platform visibility vs toolchain sprawl
Rather than jumping between tools like Trivy, Clair, or Snyk, Devtron centralizes security insights into one UI.
Reduced MTTR through contextual security alerts: By surfacing security alerts with actionable context, teams reduce Mean Time To Resolution and keep SLAs intact
Getting Started: Enable Integrated Scanning in Minutes
Security shouldn't require security experts. Devtron's native scanning activates with checkbox simplicity - no YAML wrangling, no sidecar deployments.
Zero-code enablement during pipeline setup: During pipeline setup in Devtron, teams can toggle security scanning with a single click.
Use default scan policies or bring your own: Whether you use Devtron’s predefined rules or import your own from Snyk, Aqua, or internal baselines, it just works.
