IaC Security
Overview
Section titled “Overview”The cheapest place to fix a cloud misconfiguration is before it’s deployed. RedCloud’s IaC Scanner inspects Infrastructure-as-Code (such as Terraform) and templates for security issues, and integrates with your version control and CI so problems are caught in the pull request.
Key benefits
Section titled “Key benefits”| Benefit | Capability | Business value |
|---|---|---|
| Shift left | Catch misconfigs in IaC pre-deploy | Fix issues before they reach production |
| Pipeline-native | VCS + CI integration | Findings appear where developers work |
| Consistency | Same rules as cloud scanning | What you enforce at runtime, you catch in code |
How it works
Section titled “How it works”IaC & template scanning
Section titled “IaC & template scanning”The IaC Scanner parses Terraform (and related formats) to flag insecure resource definitions — public exposure, weak IAM, missing encryption — before apply. The Template Scanner does the same for deployment templates. RedCloud also tracks the Google Cloud Foundation Fabric blueprints and can produce IaC fixes.
VCS & CI integration
Section titled “VCS & CI integration”Through VCS and CI scanning, IaC checks run on commits and pull requests, so misconfigurations are flagged in the developer workflow and can block a merge.
Implementation / workflow
Section titled “Implementation / workflow”- Connect your repository (VCS) or add the scan to your CI pipeline.
- On each PR/commit, IaC and template scans run automatically.
- Review findings inline; apply suggested IaC fixes.
- Track results in ASPM.
Best practices
Section titled “Best practices”- Run IaC scanning in CI so misconfigurations are caught before merge, not after deploy.
- Align IaC rules with your runtime org policies for end-to-end consistency.
