Welcome to DefendStack Warzone

What is DefendStack Warzone?

DefendStack - Warzone is our live, community-driven playground for security enthusiasts. Think of it as a warzone where developers, security engineers, and ethical hackers can test, break, and defend against real-world scenarios, all powered by the DefendStack Suite. It’s not a Capture the Flag in the traditional sense, it’s a living lab where our open-source DevSecOps platform is deployed, and your mission is to find vulnerabilities, test defenses, and share your findings. Every test makes DefendStack stronger.

Introduction to DevSecOps

DevSecOps is about making security a natural part of development instead of a roadblock.
  • DevOps gave us speed.
  • DevSecOps adds trust and resilience to that speed.
At its core, DevSecOps means:
  • Shift-left security → catching issues early in the pipeline
  • Automation → security checks that run in CI/CD, not after release
  • Collaboration → developers and security working as one team, not two silos
DefendStack embodies this philosophy by giving teams a full stack of open-source security capabilities without the enterprise bloatware. Read more
