IaC authors can ignore irrelevant security vulnerabilities to improve their focus on critical issues, and Snyk Infrastructure as Code (Snyk IaC) allows them to do so by generating a .snyk policy file that enables automatic ignoring of specific issues. By configuring the policy file, users can scope ignore rules to individual files or resources, helping them prioritize security efforts and avoid wasted effort on non-critical vulnerabilities. This approach supports secure infrastructure from the source, automating IaC security and compliance in workflows.
