Terraform IaC Security Scanners

Terraform scanning is one of the easiest “shift-left” wins: you catch risky defaults, misconfigurations, and policy violations before they become real infrastructure. The tricky part isn’t whether to scan — it’s choosing a tool that fits your workflow (local dev + CI), your policy needs, and your reporting requirements.

In the full article, we cover:

  • What Terraform/IaC scanning is and what it’s best at catching
  • 7 widely used scanners and how they differ in coverage and focus
  • How teams typically integrate scanners into CI/CD and pull request workflows
  • What to look for when evaluating a scanner (policies, suppression, speed, output formats)
