The importance of IaC scanning
IaC scanning is an essential practice to maintain the security, consistency, and reliability of infrastructure. IaC scanning ensures that the code-defining infrastructure complies with best practices and does not introduce vulnerabilities. IaC scanning is a cornerstone of modern, secure, and efficient infrastructure management. As infrastructure grows in complexity, and as cyber threats become more sophisticated, the importance of scanning and validating IaC becomes even more pronounced. Integrating IaC scanning into the development and deployment processes ensures a robust, secure, and efficient infrastructure that meets organizational needs while minimizing risks.
Let’s delve into the different aspects of IaC scanning.
IaC toolset functionalities
IaC scanning tools typically analyze code written in configuration management languages, such as Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation, and identify issues such as the following:
- Misconfigurations...
