CI/CD Integration

Manual red teaming is valuable but doesn't scale. Integrating adversarial testing into your CI/CD pipeline ensures continuous security validation with every deployment.

Why Automate Red Teaming?

Manual Testing	Automated Testing
Periodic (quarterly)	Every commit/deploy
Resource intensive	Scales automatically
Point-in-time snapshot	Continuous monitoring
Delayed feedback	Immediate alerts

Pipeline Architecture

Integrate red teaming at multiple stages:

┌─────────────┐    ┌──────────────┐    ┌─────────────┐
│   Commit    │───▶│  Build/Test  │───▶│   Deploy    │
└─────────────┘    └──────────────┘    └─────────────┘
       │                  │                   │
       ▼                  ▼                   ▼
┌─────────────┐    ┌──────────────┐    ┌─────────────┐
│ Pre-commit  │    │  Adversarial │    │  Production │
│   Checks    │    │    Testing   │    │  Monitoring │
└─────────────┘    └──────────────┘    └─────────────┘
