Secure Rust Development with GitLab: A Modern Approach

Rust continues to rise in popularity thanks to its memory safety, performance, and reliability. At GitLab, we are bringing even more power to Rust developers by integrating advanced security and compliance tools directly into your CI/CD workflows. Whether you’re building safe systems software or scalable web applications, secure development with Rust is now simpler and more robust than ever.

GitLab’s native support for Rust allows developers to continuously scan for vulnerabilities and ensure compliance as part of the software development life cycle. Using GitLab Ultimate, Rust teams benefit from Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Software Composition Analysis (SCA), licensing checks, and seamless DevSecOps practices that don’t interrupt your development flow.

Rust cargo-based projects can now integrate advanced pipelines out-of-the-box. GitLab’s security scanning leverages open source tools like cargo-audit and clippy for static code analysis, identifying outdated dependencies and detecting risky coding patterns—without compromising development speed or team agility.

This modern DevSecOps approach helps engineering teams deliver robust, secure software with higher confidence and less friction. Developers using GitLab can also generate compliance-ready software bills of materials (SBOMs), supporting rigorous governance standards across industries.

Organisations operating globally—especially in regulated sectors or mission-critical environments—can trust GitLab’s scalable security features to keep their Rust codebase secure from the first commit to production deployment.
