Security Scanning and Vulnerability Management

Security Scanning and Vulnerability Management

Introduction

This lesson covers the implementation of security scanning and vulnerability management practices in Jenkins, ensuring continuous security assessment and risk mitigation.

Security Scanning Framework

Types of Security Scans

1. Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
2. Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)
3. Software Composition Analysis (SCA)
4. Container Security Scanning
5. Infrastructure Security Scanning

Implementation Examples

SAST Implementation

// Example: SAST Pipeline Configuration
pipeline {
    agent any
    environment {
        SONAR_TOKEN = credentials('sonar-token')
    }
    stages {
        stage('Static Analysis') {
            steps {
                script {
                    // SonarQube Analysis
                    sh """mvn sonar:sonar \
                        -Dsonar.host.url=http://sonarqube:9000 \
                        -Dsonar.login=${SONAR_TOKEN} \
                        -Dsonar.projectKey=jenkins-security"""
                    
                    // SpotBugs Analysis
                    sh 'mvn spotbugs:check'
                    
                    // PMD Analysis
                    sh 'mvn pmd:check'
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Dependency Scanning

// Example: Dependency Check Pipeline
pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage('Dependency Check') {
            steps {
                // OWASP Dependency Check
                dependencyCheck(
                    additionalArguments: '''
                        -s .
                        -f ALL
                        -o ./reports
                        --prettyPrint
                    ''',
                    odcInstallation: 'OWASP-Dependency-Check'
                )
                
                // Publish Results
                dependencyCheckPublisher()
            }
        }
    }
}

Vulnerability Management

Vulnerability Assessment Process

1. Identification
2. Analysis
3. Prioritization
4. Remediation
5. Verification

Vulnerability Tracking

vulnerability_management:
  scanning_frequency:
    critical_systems: "daily"
    standard_systems: "weekly"
    low_risk_systems: "monthly"
  
  severity_levels:
    critical:
      score: "9.0-10.0"
      response_time: "24h"
    high:
      score: "7.0-8.9"
      response_time: "72h"
    medium:
      score: "4.0-6.9"
      response_time: "1w"
    low:
      score: "0.1-3.9"
      response_time: "2w"

Container Security

Container Scanning Pipeline

// Example: Container Security Pipeline
pipeline {
    agent any
    environment {
        DOCKER_IMAGE = 'jenkins/jenkins:lts'
    }
    stages {
        stage('Container Scan') {
            steps {
                script {
                    // Trivy Scanner
                    sh """trivy image \
                        --severity HIGH,CRITICAL \
                        --exit-code 1 \
                        ${DOCKER_IMAGE}"""
                    
                    // Anchore Engine Scan
                    anchore name: DOCKER_IMAGE
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Infrastructure Security

Infrastructure Scanning

// Example: Infrastructure Security Check
pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage('Infrastructure Scan') {
            steps {
                script {
                    // AWS Infrastructure Scan
                    sh 'prowler aws --severity high,critical'
                    
                    // Terraform Security Scan
                    sh 'tfsec .'
                    
                    // Cloud Formation Template Scan
                    sh 'cfn-nag **/*.yaml'
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Reporting and Metrics

Security Dashboard

// Example: Security Metrics Collection
pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage('Security Metrics') {
            steps {
                script {
                    // Collect Metrics
                    def metrics = [
                        vulnerabilities: collectVulnerabilities(),
                        dependencies: analyzeDependencies(),
                        containers: scanContainers(),
                        compliance: checkCompliance()
                    ]
                    
                    // Generate Dashboard
                    generateSecurityDashboard(metrics)
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Best Practices

Security Scanning Guidelines

1. Regular Scanning Schedule
2. Automated Vulnerability Detection
3. Integrated Security Tools
4. Comprehensive Reporting
5. Remediation Tracking

Tool Integration

jenkins:
  securityTools:
    sast:
      - sonarqube:
          version: "latest"
          quality_gate: "strict"
      - checkmarx:
          preset: "high_security"
    dast:
      - zap:
          threshold: "high"
      - burp:
          scan_type: "active"
    sca:
      - dependency_check:
          update_nvd: true
      - snyk:
          severity: "high"
