How can I automate security testing for my Infrastructure as Code?

You can automate security testing for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) by integrating tools like Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, or Azure Resource Manager with security scanning tools such as Checkov or Snyk.

What are some popular tools for IaC security testing?

Some popular tools include Checkov, Snyk, TerraScan, and TFSec. Each of these tools offers unique features for scanning and securing your IaC.

How do I integrate these tools into my CI/CD pipeline?

You can integrate these tools by adding them as steps in your CI/CD pipeline configuration. For example, in a GitHub Actions workflow, you can add a step to run Checkov or Snyk after your IaC is deployed.

Can you provide an example of a CI/CD configuration?

Sure! Here's a simple example for GitHub Actions:

name: CI/CD Pipeline
on: [push]
jobs:
  security:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Run Checkov
        uses: bridgecrewio/checkov-action@v1
