**Outline: Securing Your CI/CD Pipeline from Day One
Introduction: The "Shift-Left" Mindset**
The Hook: Start with a brief explanation of why waiting until production to check for security vulnerabilities is a recipe for disaster.
The Solution: Introduce the concept of DevSecOps and "shifting left"—bringing security into the earliest stages of the software development lifecycle.
What We're Building: Briefly outline the architecture: A Python Flask application, containerized with Docker, moving through a Jenkins pipeline that automatically halts if critical vulnerabilities are detected by Snyk or Trivy.
