NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar. Understand more

Adopt ? We feel strongly that the industry should be adopting these items. We use them when appropriate on our projects.

For our projects using Terraform, tfsec has quickly become a default static analysis tool to detect potential security risks. It's easy to integrate into a CI pipeline and has a growing library of checks against all of the major cloud providers and platforms like Kubernetes. Given its ease of use, we believe tfsec could be a good addition to any Terraform project.

Trial ? Worth pursuing. It is important to understand how to build up this capability. Enterprises should try this technology on a project that can handle the risk.

Security is everyone's concern, and capturing risks early is always better than facing problems later on. In the infrastructure as code space — where Terraform has been an obvious choice to manage cloud environments — we now also have tfsec, a static analysis tool that scans Terraform templates to find potential security issues. Our teams have been using tfsec quite successfully. The tool is easy to set up and use, which makes it a great choice for any development team determined to mitigate security risks to prevent breaches before they happen. Its preset rules for different cloud providers, including AWS and Azure, compliment the benefits that tfsec brings to the teams that use Terraform.
