Secure release pipelines are CI/CD pipelines designed to embed security checks and controls throughout the software release process. They ensure only compliant, secure code reaches production. Also known as secure CI/CD pipelines, they are a core DevSecOps practice.
Security added late in the lifecycle slows delivery and increases risk. Secure release pipelines enable teams to release quickly while maintaining strong security and compliance standards.
Security tools and policies are integrated into CI/CD stages. Pipelines automatically block, flag, or approve releases based on security posture, creating continuous enforcement.
BuildPiper is built around secure release pipelines, embedding security, governance, and observability into every release while preserving speed and developer experience.
No. When automated properly, secure pipelines reduce delays by catching issues early.
