Buildkite has announced its integration with Lacework, a data-driven cloud security platform, to improve security practices through CI/CD pipelines without sacrificing velocity. The integration allows teams to use Lacework's features such as software composition analysis (SCA), infrastructure-as-code (IaC) scanning, container scanning, and static application security testing (SAST). By incorporating these tools into their Buildkite pipelines, developers can identify and resolve potential security issues during the build process before they become production crises.
