Checkov

What is Checkov?

Checkov is an open-source IaC security tool that scans cloud infrastructure configurations to detect misconfigurations before deployment. It defines policies as a Python code comprising security and compliance rules. It then uses these policies to scan multiple frameworks and platforms for configuration issues. It has a command-line interface for analyzing scans and managing scans.

It provides attribute-based policies to prevent misconfigurations during build time. It supports real-time execution in the terminal and works on platforms like Terraform, CloudFormation, Helm, Kubernetes, etc. It can be integrated or embedded into CI/CD pipelines to catch issues early, making cloud infrastructure secure and compliant.
