What is the purpose of performing security testing during the SSDLC?

To ensure the software is compatible with all browsers

To speed up the compilation process

To reduce the number of features in the software

To identify and remediate vulnerabilities before release

What is the purpose of continuous vulnerability scanning in the supply chain?

To identify known vulnerabilities in dependencies and artifacts on an ongoing basis

To ensure that all dependencies are up to date

To automatically fix all vulnerabilities without human intervention

To replace the need for manual code reviews

The code repository that stores the source code.

The developer's IDE where the code is written.

The app store that distributes the application to users.

The CI server that compiles the source code and produces the application binary.
