CybeDefend projects are the core of your DevSecOps workflow. They allow you to scan your code for vulnerabilities, track your security posture, and collaborate with your team. This guide will show you how to create projects in CybeDefend using GitHub, GitLab, or ZIP upload.

​
How to Create Projects

Before creating your first project, decide how you want to add your code to CybeDefend:
