Palo Alto Networks Cybersecurity Entry-Level Technician (PCCET) — Question 144

How does DevSecOps improve the Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline?

Answer options

• A. DevSecOps improves pipeline security by assigning the security team as the lead team for continuous deployment
• B. DevSecOps ensures the pipeline has horizontal intersections for application code deployment
• C. DevSecOps unites the Security team with the Development and Operations teams to integrate security into the CI/CD pipeline
• D. DevSecOps does security checking after the application code has been processed through the CI/CD pipeline

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, highlights that DevSecOps integrates security practices within the CI/CD process by collaborating with security, development, and operations teams. Option A is incorrect because it misrepresents the role of the security team. Option B is unrelated to the security aspect of DevSecOps. Option D is also incorrect as it suggests that security checks occur only after deployment, which is contrary to the proactive approach of DevSecOps.
