We also want to routinely check if something we thought was not vulnerable, or was not known to be vulnerable when we installed it, is now of concern. Various tools exist to help us check for vulnerabilities in different parts of an application's life cycle. There are tools out there that can scan our repositories for vulnerabilities. Tools exist to help us throughout continuous delivery and continuous integration. One tool we can use is pipenv.
