IaC Security Scanning: Ensuring Security in the Open-Source Environment
IaC, or infrastructure as code, is great for managing and provisioning infrastructure at a massive scale. Implementing IaC has advantages that significantly increase the service's characteristics and efficiency. However, as well as its enormous value, IaC has certain security drawbacks, like the spreading of simple security issues on all the files or vulnerability to data exposure, which could greatly affect the security of an open-source environment. The good news is that these drawbacks can be equalized by IaC security scanning. We examine the importance of IaC security and explain how IAC security scanning can help secure your open-source environment. |
