Help us make better ads
Did you recently see an ad for beehiiv in a newsletter? We’re running a short brand lift survey to understand what’s actually breaking through (and what’s not).
It takes about 20 seconds, the questions are super easy, and your feedback directly helps us improve how we show up in the newsletters you read and love.
If you’ve got a few moments, we’d really appreciate your insight.
Pipelines Move Code — and Risk — at High Speed
Modern CI/CD automates builds, tests, and deployments. But a single misconfigured step can inject malware, leak secrets, or deploy vulnerabilities at scale.
Secrets in Pipelines Are Gold for Attackers
API keys, tokens, and credentials often live in pipeline configs, env vars, or hardcoded scripts. One exposed repo can give attackers full production access.
Compromised Build Agents = Supply Chain Breach
Build runners are often overlooked targets. If compromised, they poison every artifact downstream — infecting customers, users, and infrastructure silently.
Creativity + Science = Ads that perform
Join award-winning strategist Babak Behrad and Neurons CEO Thomas Z. Ramsøy for a strategic, practical webinar on what actually drives high-impact advertising today. Learn how top campaigns capture attention, build memory, and create branding moments that stick. It’s all backed by neuroscience, and built for real-world creative teams.
Overprivileged Automation Breaks Least Privilege
CI/CD bots often run with full admin rights across cloud platforms, repos, and deploy targets. This convenience becomes a critical escalation vector.
Lack of Visibility Hides Pipeline Drift
Pipeline definitions evolve, permissions change, and tools get added. Without continuous auditing, security assumptions decay — and gaps widen.
DevSecOps Isn’t Optional Anymore
Security must be baked into CI/CD: secret scanning, code analysis, least privilege access, and runtime validation. Speed without security = scalable failure.
