Cloud & DevSecOps Security

    Infrastructure as Code Security

    Secure the blueprint. Faltrox scans and hardens your Terraform, CloudFormation, Bicep, and Kubernetes templates, and gates your pipeline with policy-as-code, so insecure infrastructure is blocked at the pull request, not discovered in production.

    Overview

    Secure The Blueprint

    In modern cloud, infrastructure is code, and an insecure line of Terraform becomes an insecure environment, replicated everywhere it deploys. Faltrox Infrastructure as Code security catches misconfigurations in the blueprint, before anything is provisioned, so security shifts all the way left.

    We scan and harden your Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM/Bicep, Kubernetes manifests, and Helm charts, integrating policy-as-code checks directly into your pipeline so insecure infrastructure is blocked at the pull request, not discovered in production.

    Beyond scanning, we build the guardrails: secure IaC modules, policy-as-code frameworks like OPA and Sentinel, and pipeline gates, so every deployment is secure by construction and your teams get instant feedback instead of a CSPM alert weeks later.

    Secure Your IaC

    Landscape

    What We Secure

    IaC security covers the templates and pipelines that define and deploy your cloud infrastructure.

    01

    Terraform

    Scan and harden Terraform for misconfigurations and insecure defaults.

    02

    CloudFormation & Bicep

    Secure AWS CloudFormation, Azure ARM, and Bicep templates.

    03

    Kubernetes & Helm

    Harden manifests and Helm charts for secure workload deployment.

    04

    Secrets Detection

    Catch hard-coded secrets and credentials before they reach a repo.

    05

    Policy-as-Code

    Enforce security policy with OPA, Sentinel, and native pipeline gates.

    06

    Pipeline Integration

    Block insecure infrastructure at the pull request and CI stage.

    Process

    Our IaC Process

    We embed security into the infrastructure pipeline so insecure templates never reach production.

    1. 01

      ASSESS

      We review your IaC, pipelines, and current scanning to find the gaps.

    2. 02

      SCAN

      We scan templates for misconfigurations, insecure defaults, and secrets.

    3. 03

      POLICY

      We define policy-as-code rules that encode your security requirements.

    4. 04

      GATE

      We integrate checks into CI so insecure infrastructure is blocked pre-deploy.

    5. 05

      ENABLE

      We deliver secure modules and developer feedback so teams build secure by default.

    Outcomes

    Key benefits

    Securing infrastructure at the code stage is faster, cheaper, and more consistent than fixing it live.

    Fix It Before It Exists

    A misconfiguration caught in a Terraform pull request costs seconds to fix; the same flaw in production is an exposed database or a breach. By scanning IaC and gating the pipeline, we stop insecure infrastructure at the source, and because it's code, the fix is applied everywhere that template deploys.

    Shift-Left Security

    Developers get instant feedback in the pipeline, not a CSPM alert weeks later.

    Consistent Everywhere

    Fix the template once and every environment it deploys inherits the fix.

    Secure By Construction

    Policy-as-code gates ensure only compliant infrastructure ever deploys.

    Reusable Guardrails

    Hardened modules make the secure path the easy path for every team.

    Provable Compliance

    Pipeline evidence shows infrastructure met policy before it was provisioned.

    Who we serve

    Who we protect

    IaC security suits any team that provisions cloud infrastructure through code and pipelines.

    FAQ

    Common questions

    01What is Infrastructure as Code security?

    It's securing the templates, Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM/Bicep, Kubernetes manifests, that define your cloud infrastructure, by scanning them for misconfigurations and secrets and gating the pipeline, so insecure infrastructure is caught in code before it's ever provisioned.

    02How is this different from CSPM?

    CSPM detects misconfigurations in running cloud infrastructure; IaC security prevents them by catching flaws in the template before deployment. IaC security shifts left, fixing the blueprint, while CSPM watches the live estate. They're complementary, and together they cover prevention and detection.

    03Which IaC formats do you support?

    Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Azure ARM and Bicep, Kubernetes manifests, and Helm charts, the major formats. We scan them for misconfigurations and insecure defaults and integrate policy-as-code enforcement into your pipeline.

    04What is policy-as-code?

    Encoding your security requirements as machine-enforceable rules, using frameworks like Open Policy Agent (OPA) or HashiCorp Sentinel, so the pipeline automatically blocks infrastructure that violates policy. Security becomes an automated gate, not a manual review.

    05Do you catch hard-coded secrets?

    Yes. Secrets scanning is part of IaC security, we detect hard-coded credentials, keys, and tokens in templates and pipelines before they reach a repository, where they'd be far harder to fully remove.

    06How does this fit our DevOps workflow?

    It integrates directly into CI/CD, scanning at the pull request and blocking insecure infrastructure before merge or deploy. Developers get instant, actionable feedback in their normal workflow, so security accelerates delivery instead of slowing it down.
