Infrastructure as code (IaC) allows DevOps teams to apply the same guidelines used to manage application code to infrastructure. The result is faster and more frequent deployment, better scalability and increased predictability.

It also enables you to embed security scanning and guardrails throughout the entire development and delivery process – an operating model called shift-left security.

The IaC Security Checklist provides six power rules DevSecOps teams should keep in mind to maintain accelerated release velocity while maintaining and improving security posture. Each guideline includes one or more actionable steps teams can take to effectively shift security left.
