Applying SAST to Infrastructure as Code: Unifying Cloud and Container Security with Trivy

Short summary

Trivy is a SAST tool for scanning Infrastructure as Code files (Terraform, Dockerfile) to catch security misconfigurations before deployment. The post demonstrates scanning vulnerable code (unencrypted S3 buckets, exposed SSH ports, containers running as root), interpreting findings, and implementing fixes. It covers CI/CD integration with GitHub Actions to block insecure pull requests.

• •Trivy scans IaC files for misconfigurations in IDE or CI pipeline before deployment
• •Tutorial shows real vulnerable code examples and how to interpret Trivy's findings
• •GitHub Actions integration blocks pull requests with security issues
