Episode 126: Version Control and Code Integrity

Version control systems track changes to code—but they also need to be protected themselves. This episode explores how tools like Git help enforce code integrity, collaboration, and traceability across development teams. We cover commit histories, branching strategies, and how to detect unauthorized or malicious changes. You’ll learn about tagging, rollbacks, signed commits, and hash verification to ensure that what gets deployed is what was intended. For CISSPs, maintaining code integrity across distributed teams and tools is key to supporting trustworthy software development practices.
