Implementing DevOps Solutions and Practices Using Cisco Platforms (DEVOPS) — Question 68

A new banking application is being developed as the main currency exchange resource for all the customers on a global scale. The application must comply with the security based on the deployed region. Therefore, the CI/CD pipeline must be created with the highest security possible.

Which approach accomplishes this goal?

Answer options

• A. Give the accounts used in the CI/CD pipeline full administrative rights to all applications
• B. Use the same passwords across the entire CI/CD pipeline
• C. Ensure that secrets are not inadvertently passed on during builds for pull requests via CI/CD pipeline
• D. Never use one-time passwords in CI/CD pipeline

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is correct because ensuring that secrets are not accidentally passed during builds is crucial for maintaining security in the CI/CD pipeline. Options A and B weaken security by granting excessive permissions and using the same passwords, while option D is incorrect as one-time passwords can enhance security if implemented properly.
