The Challenge with Traditional CI/CD Pipelines for AppSec

Speed vs. Security Trade-off

CI/CD pipelines optimize speed, but security checks can slow builds and frustrate developers. Scans like SAST and SCA may delay releases or get ignored. Early feedback, risk-based scanning, and developer-friendly tools can reduce friction.

Tool Overload and Fragmentation

Multiple security tools often lack integration, leading to noisy or conflicting results. This causes broken pipelines and poor visibility. Using orchestration platforms and unified reporting helps streamline security within the CI/CD flow.

Limited Security Expertise

Developers often lack deep security training, resulting in poor remediation or alert fatigue. Relying solely on security teams doesn't scale. Training, automated guidance, and policy-as-code can help shift security left more effectively.

What is Pipelineless Security?

Implementation

Security Without CI/CD Dependencies

‍

Pipelineless security is a modern approach to safeguarding code by embedding security directly into source control systems (SCM). Unlike traditional pipeline-based methods, it identifies risks at the right time int he development cycle, streamlines workflows for AppSec and developer teams.

Operates outside traditional pipelines

Avoid reliance on complex CI/CD setups or DevOps,  ensuring security operates independently for maximum flexibility without the  extra work.

Secures code directly in SCM

By embedding security into source control,  vulnerabilities are detected and addressed where the code lives, streamlining  the process.

Simplifies integration and scaling

Easy to implement and scale across teams, Pipelineless  Security reduces operational overhead and adapts to your workflows.

Eliminate CI/CD Configuration Overhead

Redefine how security is integrated into software development by completely removing the need to configure or maintain CI/CD pipelines for security checks.

Minimize developer disruption

Always running in the background and with fewerfalse positives, pipelineless security ensures developers can workuninterrupted while staying protected..

Real-time insights and fixes

Actionable alerts and remediation steps inreal-time empower developers to resolve issues efficiently in the tools theyare already using.

Seamless developer adoption

Designed with developer experience in mind, pipelineless  security integrates smoothly into tools teams already use including Slack,  Microsoft Teams, Jira, and Azure DevOps Boards, promoting full and easy adoption.

Maximize Developer Satisfaction

Deliver security insights directly into the tools developers already use—in real time, with zero friction—ensuring that security helps instead of hinders.

Happy devs, happy sec.

Positive Outcomes of Pipelineless Security

66% of Risks Addressed Before Code Merge

Arnica helps developers address 66% of risks from code before a merge request is created.

91% of Risks Before Ever Reaching Production

Teams using Arnica’s developer-native workflows identify and address 91% of risks before production.

Better Prioritization and Automated Backlog

Use behavioral and organization specific context to identify your most important repositories and branches and focus your mitigation efforts on those code assets. Go even further by establishing clear ownership for every code asset and vulnerability to easily answer “who is best suited to help me with this?”

Fewer Barriers to Better Security

Arnica ensures out-of-the-box adoption by eliminating barriers developers face with traditional ASPM tools. With no opt-ins, plugins, or CI/CD dependencies, Arnica seamlessly integrates into workflows, enabling effortless, frictionless adoption and achieving 100% visibility and action.

Every application risk,
in real-time.
