Infrastructure as Code Security
Learn how to secure cloud infrastructure defined as code with Terraform, scan templates for misconfigurations, and prevent drift and insecure defaults.
What Is IaC?
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) defines cloud resources in declarative files (Terraform, CloudFormation, Bicep) instead of clicking through consoles. It makes infrastructure repeatable, reviewable, and version-controlled.
That same automation means a single mistake can be deployed everywhere instantly.
Security Benefits of IaC
IaC enables security at scale:
- Changes go through code review and version history
- Configurations are consistent across environments
- Security policies can be enforced automatically
The goal is to catch insecure config before it ever reaches the cloud.
