Modern companies are increasingly adopting automation for software deployment processes. Combining CI/CD and the GitOps approach makes it possible to update infrastructure quickly and without manual intervention. However, the more automation you have, the higher the risks if security is not properly configured.
This is especially critical when an application or infrastructure is deployed on a VPS connected to a public network. In such a scenario, a supply chain attack can lead to full server compromise and leakage of confidential data.
