These Infrastructure-as-Code Benefits Are Your Cloud Security OpportunitiesCategory: Software, Security, Cloud, Infrastructure, automation
IaC, similar to any other emerging technology, can introduce new ambiguities about where infrastructure is being provisioned, who owns it, and how it’s being governed. As we’ve learned, those complexities can result in security errors and misconfigurations that can eventually lead to real-world risk.
In this post, we’ll look at leveraging the inherent benefits of IaC frameworks such as Terraform and CloudFormation to secure the infrastructure they provision.
Without IaC, cloud security typically happens outside of the development lifecycle; wherein cloud security solutions monitor deployed resources for errors.
IaC also introduces a single source of truth across cloud providers, compliance benchmarks, and security best practices.
