 DAST: OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite
 SCA: Black Duck, Snyk
 Summary: Discussing how to incorporate security tools into CI/CD
pipelines, with examples of tools for automated security checks.

Automation in DevSecOps
 Importance of Automation: For scaling security practices
efficiently.
 Automating Security Tests: Using scripts and APIs for seamless
security assessments.
 Tooling Examples:
 IaC Security: Terraform with Checkov, Ansible with Ansible
Lint
 Container Security: Clair for Docker, Kube-bench for
Kubernetes
