Infrastructure Drift Detection: A Practical Guide for 2026
When running infrastructure diverges from your Terraform, your security scans start auditing a fiction. Here's how to detect, understand, and reconcile configuration drift.
Terraform Security Best Practices: Hardening Your IaC in 2026
Terraform provisions your entire cloud, which makes it your largest attack surface as code. Here are the practices that keep state, modules, and providers from becoming the breach.
What Is Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Security?
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security is the practice of scanning and hardening the machine-readable files that define your cloud infrastructure — before they provision anything. Here's how it catches misconfigurations at the source.
How Snyk IaC's static analysis engine parses Terraform HC...
A technical walkthrough of how Snyk IaC parses Terraform HCL into JSON, evaluates it with OPA/Rego policies, and maps violations back to source lines.
How Snyk IaC's 400+ rule library maps to CIS benchmarks a...
How Snyk IaC's 400+ rules trace to numbered CIS AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes benchmark controls — and where benchmark-mapped scanning stops short.
How Snyk IaC scans a Terraform Plan JSON file to catch dr...
How Snyk IaC parses Terraform plan JSON's resource_changes to catch drift and misconfigurations before terraform apply — the mechanics, limits, and what it can't see.
How Snyk IaC handles Terraform modules and remote module ...
How Snyk IaC statically parses Terraform, resolves local modules inline, and why remote Registry or Git modules stay unexpanded until a Terraform plan is scanned.
IaC Drift: The Gap Between Declared and Actual Cloud Conf...
IaC drift lets your cloud diverge silently from Terraform state, breaking the compliance guarantees teams assume are still true. Here's how it happens and how to catch it.
Bridgecrew vs tfsec: choosing a Terraform IaC scanner in 2026
How Bridgecrew (Prisma Cloud Code Security) and tfsec compare on policy coverage, custom rule extensibility, drift detection, and the operational fit for IaC programs.
Checkov 3.2.x Field Review: IaC Scanning in 2026
Bridgecrew's Checkov is still shipping weekly patches in 2026. We ran 3.2.527 against a 38,000-line Terraform monorepo and graded coverage, noise, and CI cost.
GitLab IaC Scanning: How to Catch Misconfigured Infrastructure
GitLab IaC scanning checks Terraform, Kubernetes, and CloudFormation for insecure settings before they deploy. Here is how to turn it on and make the results actionable.
Securing AWS Infrastructure as Code: A Practical Guide
AWS infrastructure as code turns your cloud into version-controlled files, which means security review can shift left into the same pull request that provisions the resource.
