Monitor and Keep Tabs
On Any Configuration Drift

Continuously compare IaC configurations with those in production so you can identify drift. Find situations where configurations are no longer aligned and operating in an insecure way. Alert the right teams so these environments can be fixed.

Identify All Your
Cloud Misconfigurations

Let your devs easily find and fix IaC misconfigurations through Cycode’s continuous scanning. Uncover alerts for your team across hundreds of misconfiguration types such as publicly accessible storage buckets, non-encrypted critical data, weak password policies, non-rotated encryption keys and more. 

Continuous scanning of every code change

Free Flowing IaC Scanning

within Developer Workflows

Scan new commits and merge requests for misconfigurations in compliance with NIST, CIS, or any custom built rules. If scans return IaC policy violations, Cycode automatically presents the results to developers and the code fix needed to remedy the issue.

Automated PR fixes

Self-serve development workflows

Frequently Asked Questions About IaC Security

What is IaC security?

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security ensures that infrastructure configurations written as code are secure, compliant, and free from misconfigurations before deployment. By embedding security directly into developer workflows, teams can prevent security risks without slowing down development.

Why is IaC security important?

Misconfigurations in IaC can lead to security breaches, compliance failures, and operational disruptions. Because IaC automates infrastructure deployment, vulnerabilities can scale rapidly if not caught early. Following best practices for securing IaC helps teams shift security left, reducing risks before they impact production.

What are the benefits of IaC security?

  • Early risk detection:Catches misconfigurations before deployment.
  • Automated compliance:Enforces security policies within development pipelines.
  • Faster remediation: Fixes vulnerabilities in code before they reach production.
  • Scalability: Ensures security across cloud environments as they evolve.
  • Efficiency: Reduces manual security reviews through automation.

What is IaC scanning?

IaC scanning automates the detection of security misconfigurations, compliance violations, and exposed secrets in infrastructure code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes). By embedding IaC security into developer workflows, teams can seamlessly integrate security into CI/CD pipelines, catching and fixing issues before deployment.

How does IaC security work?

IaC security works by embedding security checks into development pipelines. It includes:
  1. Automated scanning: Identifies misconfigurations in IaC files.
  2. Policy enforcement: Ensures compliance with security standards (CIS, NIST, etc.).
  3. Secret detection: Prevents credential leaks in code.
  4. Drift detection: Monitors infrastructure for unauthorized changes.
  5. Remediation automation: Fixes issues before deployment without manual effort.
For comprehensive security, IaC security should be integrated with other security layers, such as SAST and CI/CD security. ASPM platforms like Cycode Complete ASPM unify these functions, providing end-to-end security visibility across the entire SDLC.
