About:
Checkov is a static code analysis tool for infrastructure as code (IaC). It scans cloud formations and IaC frameworks like Terraform to detect security misconfigurations and compliance policy violations before deployment. The tool supports multiple cloud providers and helps shift security left in the development lifecycle.
Key Features:
  • Scans Terraform, CloudFormation, and Kubernetes manifests
  • Detects security misconfigurations and compliance violations
  • Provides fix suggestions and security ratings
  • Integrates with CI/CD pipelines and IDEs
Use Cases:
  • Preventing cloud security vulnerabilities in IaC before deployment
  • Enforcing compliance standards like CIS benchmarks in CI/CD
Alternatives:
  • tfsec – Terraform-specific scanner, while Checkov supports multiple IaC frameworks
  • Terrascan – Similar IaC scanning capabilities with different policy sets
