Summary
This tutorial demonstrates tfsec, an open-source security scanner for Terraform infrastructure-as-code. The tool performs static analysis to detect misconfigurations and security risks before deployment. The demonstration covers basic scanning workflows, output formatting options, policy exclusion capabilities, and custom policy creation using YAML. tfsec is backed by Aqua Security and provides out-of-the-box security checks with severity classifications ranging from low to critical. The tutorial includes a practical example of creating a custom policy to enforce PCI compliance requirements for AWS S3 buckets, showing how organizations can extend the tool's built-in ruleset to meet specific security and compliance needs.
