What is the main purpose of a secure code repository in the software development environment?
To ensure code is automatically tested for vulnerabilities
To enforce coding standards and style guidelines
To protect the confidentiality and integrity of source code
To restrict access to compilers and build tools
The correct answer is to protect the confidentiality and integrity of source code.
A secure code repository implements controls to prevent unauthorized access to or modification of the source code, ensuring that the intellectual property remains protected and that changes to the code are properly tracked, authorized, and audited.
Ensuring code is automatically tested for vulnerabilities is a function of integrated security testing tools or continuous integration pipelines, not the primary purpose of a secure code repository.
Restricting access to compilers and build tools falls under development environment security controls rather than code repository functionality.
Enforcing coding standards and style guidelines is typically handled by code quality tools or code review processes, not the core purpose of a secure code repository. While some repositories may include features to support these practices, they are secondary to protecting the code itself.
