Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a cornerstone in modern DevOps and DevSecOps practices, but how do you scale and codify security best practices into your IaC reviews? While security reviewing source code pull requests (PRs) is an awesome way to shift left, it doesn't always scale for every organization.  Has your team taken the time to identify best practices for your cloud provider, and specifically using your IaC tool with that cloud provider??

Join Jon Knepp and Alex Rodriguez as they outline how to automate security reviews for IaC in next week’s webcast From Code to Cloud: Strengthening IaC Security with SAST on August 22nd.

SAST for IaC

This webcast will cover incorporating security into workflows at various parts of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), and how doing so is pivotal to ensuring that your organization is constantly utilizing best practices. Next, the webcast will focus on arming you with knowledge and tools to integrate Static Application Security Testing (SAST) into your Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) pipelines. The webcast will also address how to balance business objectives with security concerns. We want to help ensure that your security team doesn’t become another waterfall gate (blocker) in the release cycle.

Webcast Highlights:

  • Common IaC Pitfalls: Discover some of the prevalent security issues in IaC and how they can cause issues with your cloud infrastructure.
  • Demo SAST Scan: Watch a practical SAST scan against an IaC repository to help identify and suggest security mitigations.
  • Best Practices for Integration: Learn how to effectively embed security into your CI/CD pipelines, ensuring your infrastructure is using best practices.

Target Audience:

This webcast is perfect for DevOps, DevSecOps, and security professionals who are looking to enhance their understanding of IaC security. Whether you’re new to SAST or looking to refine your existing processes, this session offers valuable insights that you can apply to your workflows.
