Secure your cloud environment from end to end with Datadog Infrastructure-as-Code Security

What's this blog post about?

Infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tools like Terraform and CloudFormation enable teams to manage their cloud infrastructure through code, increasing productivity and efficiency. However, IaC adoption also introduces new risks such as misconfigurations that could provide attack paths for threat actors. Datadog IaC Security addresses these challenges by surfacing IaC misconfigurations from code to cloud, allowing teams to detect and mitigate risks before they reach production. The tool offers features like scanning IaC in pull requests and pipelines, viewing code and cloud misconfigurations together, and unifying detection rules across code and infrastructure. Datadog IaC Security is now available in preview for users to try out.
