Summary

Snyk has expanded its partnership with HashiCorp by integrating Snyk IaC with Terraform Enterprise, a self-hosted private distribution of Terraform, to empower developers to automate security checks and ensure public cloud environments are secure and compliant pre-deployment. This integration enables developers to treat Terraform like any other form of code and proactively test Infrastructure as Code (IaC) early and continuously monitor infrastructure post-deployment. By implementing IaC security in their pipelines, DevOps and security practitioners reported a median 70% reduction in cloud misconfigurations and a 70% median increase in deployment speed due to automated approvals and less rework required. Snyk IaC trims tedious tasks within developer workflows by identifying and fixing misconfigurations early across Terraform workflows and provides high-level configuration fixes and security advice during the Terraform plan stage, helping organizations combat misconfigurations that can impede the development of cloud native applications and multi-cloud environments.
