#002 Security Checks
You can check for security updates for Drupal and package dependencies from the command line.
drush pm:security will identify issues with the core and modules. Success will look like this:
[success] There are no outstanding security updates for Drupal projects.
Enlightn Security Checker is a command line tool that checks if your application uses dependencies with known security vulnerabilities. Including this in your project and you can check dependencies locally:
app$ /app/vendor/bin/security-checker security:check composer.lock
[OK] 0 packages have known vulnerabilities
Adding these tests to your CI process could prevent the deployment of code with vulnerabilities.
