To begin performing static code scans on your GitLab repositories with CybeDefend, you’ll need to authorize and install our GitLab integration. Once installed, your repositories will be accessible when creating new projects in CybeDefend.
GitLab Integration Intro

​
1. Access Organization Integrations

  1. Navigate to “Integration Settings” Go to your Organization’s settings > Integrations.
  2. Search for “GitLab” Within that section, choose the GitLab option for installation instructions.
  3. Click “Install & Authorize”
    You’ll be redirected to GitLab’s official authorization flow.
You must have Administrator or Manager privileges in CybeDefend to add integrations.

​
2. Install & Authorize CybeDefend on GitLab

When GitLab prompts you to authorize CybeDefend:
  1. Choose Repositories
    Select either all or specific repositories to grant CybeDefend read access.
  2. Confirm Permissions
    We need at least read access for scanning. Write access is optional but enables advanced features like Auto-Fix Merge Requests.
  3. Complete Installation
    Wait a few seconds for GitLab to finalize authorization.
If you have organizational policies restricting third-party integrations, contact your GitLab Admin to approve CybeDefend’s access.

​
3. Linking Repositories to Your Projects

After installation, you can associate any authorized repository with a new project in CybeDefend:
  • Go to “Create Project”: Navigate to Create Project.
  • Select “Continue with GitLab”: Your authorized repos will appear in a dropdown.
  • Choose Your Repo: Pick a repository, assign it to a team, and configure scanning parameters.
If you just installed the integration, it may take a few moments before your repositories become visible in the “Create Project” flow.
