Shift–left with IaC security

Last updated | May 28, 2026 |

Scan, detect and fix risk in infrastructure as code (IaC) earlier in the CI/CD pipeline with Tenable Cloud Security’s IaC and policy as code capabilities.

Eliminate IaC errors and decrease your attack surface

Integrate policy as code and scanning to enforce automated guardrails throughout the CI/CD development process to ensure no gaps exist across your entire development lifecycle.

Reduce risk across your software development lifecycle

Identify risky misconfigurations and compliance violations in code

Scan code before production deployment with Tenable Cloud Security CI/CD workflow integrations. Scan IaC, including Terraform and CloudFormation, to gain preventive context and risk prioritization. Developers can then quickly evaluate critical security alerts against industry standard benchmarks or custom policies and correct as needed.

Empower your developers to write secure code while eliminating cloud infrastructure misconfigurations and other risks prior to deployment.

Mitigate risk with built–in remediation

Mitigate cloud infrastructure misconfigurations and other risks through integration with a variety of automated and assisted remediation tools.

  • Feed Tenable findings into existing workflows or auto-remediate directly with wizards
  • Assign alerts and IaC snippets via ticketing systems (e.g., Jira or ServiceNow)
  • Integrate with source-code repositories to add comments and suggested fixes to pull requests

Enable agentless compliance for IaC

Achieve and maintain compliance with non-disruptive agentless scanning, with less overhead and set-up that takes just minutes. Continuously scan infrastructure as code (IaC) against industry regulations and benchmarks, such as:

  • PCI-DSS
  • CIS benchmarks
  • SOC 2
  • PSD2
  • GDPR
  • NIST
  • HIPAA
  • And more, as well as custom frameworks

Audit and compliance teams can detect and mitigate gaps in policy guardrails as part of the development process — minimizing the risk of compliance failure.
