Configuration

The Configuration category ensures applications have a secure build environment and hardened third party library components. Specifically, ensuring a build and deploy pipeline is repeatable and includes automated testing and prevents known security issues from being deployed. This includes keeping dependencies up to date and free from known vulnerabilities.
