Scan for AWS CloudFormation misconfigurations with Snyk IaC

The Snyk Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool now supports scanning for AWS CloudFormation misconfigurations, allowing developers to integrate security checks into their development process early on. This feature is available both through the Snyk CLI and by importing a repository, making it easy to treat CloudFormation files like any other code. The new functionality uses comprehensive sets of security rules, including over 100 for AWS, and provides format-agnostic rules that can be viewed and modified in the Snyk organization's settings. With this update, users can scan their CloudFormation files using a simple command, such as "snyk iac test <path-to-file-or-folder>", and get comprehensive security feedback to secure their infrastructure from the source. The new features are available for free to all users, including those on the free plan, making it easy to get started with Snyk IaC today.
