The original title is "Applying SAST to Infrastructure as Code: Scanning Terraform with Checkov"

Short summary

Checkov is an open-source SAST tool scanning Terraform configurations for security misconfigurations—public S3 buckets, exposed databases, hardcoded secrets, SSRF vulnerabilities—without requiring AWS credentials. A detailed tutorial demonstrates detecting 27 real security issues in an 80-line project within seconds, then shows hardening patterns and GitHub Actions CI/CD integration to automatically block insecure pull requests.

• •Checkov detects 27 security misconfigurations in Terraform without AWS credentials or terraform apply
• •Covers real vulnerabilities: public buckets, internet-exposed databases, hardcoded secrets, IMDSv1 SSRF risks, unencrypted storage
• •Demonstrates remediation and GitHub Actions CI/CD integration to enforce security gates and prevent regressions
