What is the primary method to secure secrets in a CI/CD pipeline?

Hardcode secrets in source code

Use a secrets management tool like Vault

Share secrets via unsecured networks

Store secrets in plain text files

How does RBAC enhance CI/CD pipeline security?

By automating code deployments solely

By limiting access based on user roles

By encrypting all data transfers

By monitoring network traffic only

Which practice prevents unauthorized access in CI/CD environments?

Share credentials among team members

Implement multi-factor authentication

Disable access logs entirely

Use default passwords for accounts

What role does encryption play in securing CI/CD pipelines?

Reduces the need for testing

Increases code execution speed

Speeds up deployment processes

Protects data in transit and at rest

How can you isolate environments in a CI/CD pipeline?

Allow open access between environments

Use separate virtual networks per environment

Ignore firewall configurations

Share the same database across all
