Integrate artifact signing and vulnerability scanning into CI/CD
WHAT IT TESTS: Designing CI/CD gating with non-repudiable artifacts and automated trust. ANSWER OUTLINE: Build SBOMs, sign with ephemeral keys, scan registries, and enforce policy before deploy. RED FLAG: Signing after deploy or long-lived keys in CI.
WHAT IT TESTS: Whether you can embed cryptographic trust and automated vulnerability gating into CI/CD. ANSWER OUTLINE: A strong response sequences build-time SBOM generation, keyless signing with Sigstore or KMS, registry CVE scanning with severity thresholds, and deploy-time policy enforcement rejecting unsigned artifacts. RED FLAG: Treating signing as post-deploy cosmetics, storing long-lived private keys in CI variables, or scanning only after release.
