Build Inspector - A modern Javert on the trail of CI/CD Anomalies and Intruders

Presented at DEF CON 31 (2023), Aug. 11, 2023, noon (115 minutes)

In the ever evolving landscape of software development, maintaining the integrity and security of your build, test and deployment pipelines is paramount. Build Inspector is an always-watching guard dog, looking for information about the dependencies being consumed and produced, while also calling out instances of risky practices or potential signs of compromise during pipeline runs. Watch as the inspector turns piles of plaintext logs into structured data, perfect for automated analysis, correlation and alerting. With simple containerized deployment and self-documenting REST API, it has never been easier to ensure your build logs are always being watched.
