Security Testing Tool for Infrastructure as Code
This Final Year Project focuses on developing a static security testing tool for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) deployments.
Project Overview
This project centers on the development of a static security testing tool designed to enhance the security of cloud infrastructures defined through Infrastructure as Code (IaC). The tool scans IaC CloudFormation templates to detect and classify insecure configurations, vulnerabilities, and potential misconfigurations. By surfacing security concerns early in the development cycle, it empowers developers to address risks proactively—before the infrastructure is deployed.
As cloud adoption grows, ensuring the security of infrastructure deployed through code becomes increasingly critical. This tool provides:
- Automated scanning of IaC templates for security vulnerabilities
- Detailed reporting of identified risks with severity classification
- Recommendations for remediation of security issues
- Integration with development pipelines for early detection
The tool is designed to support DevOps teams in maintaining security best practices while accelerating their deployment cycles.
