CSPM and IaC integration
Integrating IaC and CSPM is crucial for ensuring security in cloud environments.
How IaC and CSPM enhance security posture together
CSPM and IaC integration is a powerful approach to ensuring “shift left” security, which means addressing security concerns as early as possible in the SDLC. Let us now understand how CSPM and IaC integration can be a boon, especially for organizations with complex infrastructure, and can help achieve shift left security with other use cases:
- Early security assessment: CSPM tools can be integrated into IaC pipelines and development workflows. IaC templates and configurations are scanned for security vulnerabilities and compliance violations before deployment. This early assessment allows teams to identify and address security issues at the code and configuration stage, reducing the risk of vulnerabilities making their way into production.
For example: AWS CloudFormation templates can define granular IAM...
