Shift Left reduces vulnerabilities before deployment while Verify Right confirms protections remain effective in production. A passing CI/CD pipeline only proves build-time security checks passed — it cannot guarantee runtime configurations, newly disclosed dependency vulnerabilities, or cloud configuration drift are addressed. The author previews a follow-up post detailing a practical GitHub Actions DevSecOps pipeline called SecureFlow. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
