SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Infrastructure as Code security scanning across Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, Pulumi, and ARM templates to identify misconfigurations before they reach production.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive IaC scanning with Checkov, tfsec, Terrascan, KICS, kubesec, Trivy, and OPA/Conftest.
  • Supports Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, Helm, ARM, and Pulumi configurations across multi-cloud environments.
  • Use cases include CI/CD integration, pre-deploy audits, and policy compliance checks.

Quick Start

Run a security scan on your Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, Helm, Pulumi, and ARM configurations using the integrated IaC scanners.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scan Terraform and Kubernetes manifests for security misconfigurations?

IaC security scanning detects misconfigurations in Terraform and Kubernetes manifests using tools like Checkov, tfsec, and kubesec. It applies policy validations across multi-cloud environments to catch vulnerabilities before production deployment.

What is the best way to automate infrastructure-as-code security checks in a CI/CD pipeline?

Automating IaC security checks in CI/CD pipelines involves running scanners like Checkov, Terrascan, and Trivy against your configurations. This integration enables pre-deployment audits and continuous policy compliance validation across your infrastructure code.

Does this IaC security scanning approach support Helm charts and ARM templates?

IaC security scanning supports Helm charts and ARM templates alongside Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, and Pulumi configurations. This multi-format coverage ensures comprehensive auditing across diverse multi-cloud infrastructure environments.

When do I need to use OPA and Conftest for infrastructure-as-code auditing?

OPA and Conftest are needed for IaC auditing when you require custom policy validations and compliance checks across your infrastructure code. They complement scanners like KICS and Trivy to enforce specific security rules before deployment.

Can I use multiple IaC scanners like tfsec and Checkov together for pre-deployment checks?

Using multiple IaC scanners like tfsec and Checkov together provides deeper coverage for pre-deployment checks. Combining these tools with Terrascan and KICS identifies a broader range of misconfigurations across your multi-cloud infrastructure templates.
