Checkov

Checkov Scan is an open-source static analysis tool that scans infrastructure-as-code (IaC) files to identify potential security risks and compliance violations.

Checkov supports various IaC formats, including Terraform, Kubernetes, AWS CloudFormation, and Azure Resource Manager templates. Checkov can be used to identify misconfigurations and enforce compliance with industry-standard policies and regulations.

Checkov Scan works by analyzing the code structure and applying a set of built-in and custom rules. The rules are written in YAML format and can be easily extended or modified to fit specific use cases. Each rule checks for a specific condition, such as the use of insecure protocols or the exposure of sensitive data, and generates a report with the findings. The report can be exported in various formats, such as JSON, HTML, or JUnit.
