Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, Pulumi) defines cloud infrastructure in code files — meaning security misconfigurations can be caught before deployment. IaC security scanning evaluates: are storage buckets configured for public access? Do security groups allow unrestricted inbound traffic? Are encryption settings enabled? Are IAM policies least-privilege? Scanning IaC templates is far more efficient than auditing deployed infrastructure — catching the same issues earlier and cheaper.
