Learn to write secure PowerShell code through this 48-minute conference talk from PowerShell Summit 2025. Discover free tools and techniques to immediately improve your PowerShell security practices, starting with an in-depth review of PSScriptAnalyzer's built-in security rules. Extend your security analysis capabilities by integrating PowerShell InjectionHunter with PSScriptAnalyzer, and master the creation of custom PSScriptAnalyzer rules to address unique security requirements not covered by existing tools. Implement these security measures in your development workflow by setting up Github Actions for both local testing and CI/CD pipeline integration. Protect sensitive information using Microsoft.PowerShell.SecretManagement to keep API keys, tokens, and passwords out of your codebase. Evaluate external code dependencies safely by learning what to look for when reviewing third-party PowerShell modules and scripts. Understand why investing time in secure coding practices is significantly more cost-effective than dealing with security breaches, and gain practical knowledge to start implementing these security measures immediately in your PowerShell development workflow.
