You can scan Terraform and Kubernetes configurations for security misconfigurations by running automated infrastructure code checks against 790 Terrascan policies. This identifies potential deployment risks before provisioning cloud resources.

Infrastructure as code security scanning maps detected vulnerabilities to NIST 800-53 controls by grouping findings into compliance control families. This provides a clear compliance posture for your cloud infrastructure audits.

Yes, infrastructure security scanning supports CloudFormation, ARM templates, and Dockerfiles alongside Terraform and Kubernetes. It applies policy checks across multiple infrastructure as code formats to ensure deployment hardening.

Yes, you need python-hcl2 to scan Terraform code because it handles HCL normalization. This dependency parses the Terraform configuration files so the scanner can accurately evaluate security policies.

Yes, you can run a quick security audit on staged files to fail on high severity issues. This pre-deployment check scans your infrastructure code and blocks operations if critical misconfigurations are detected.

The best way to check AWS, Azure, or GCP infrastructure code against security best practices is to scan it with automated policy checks before deployment. This validates configurations against 790 policies to ensure hardening.
