Automate Azure DevOps code security analysis with the Microsoft Security Code Analysis extensions

This article provides a step-by-step guide on using the Microsoft Security Code Analysis extension in Azure DevOps to automate security analysis of code during CI/CD pipelines. It covers installing the extension, configuring build tasks like Credential Scanner, BinSkim, TSLint, Roslyn Analyzers, and Anti-Malware Scanner, and demonstrates how to detect sensitive data such as passwords and keys in source code. The scenario shows how to enforce pipeline failures to prevent insecure artifacts from being released. Aimed at developers and DevOps engineers, it emphasizes improving code security posture through automated checks.
