pre-commit-terraform VS terrascan

Personally I use pre-commit with some of these hooks in addition to some default hooks. It's basically a localised CI pipeline, and also means every commit has passed checks so keeps your commit history neat. Way faster to develop infrastructure code and fix issues than having to keep pushing to the remote repo and waiting for an Action to run.

Local testing with pre-commit-terraform. Formats code with terraform fmt Validates code with terraform validate Automatic README updates with terraform-docs. Static code analysis with TFLint, tfsec and checkov.

pre-commit-terraform – Pre-commit git hooks for automation

Let me share a shameless plug (as an author of the pre-commit-terraform). I will show these hooks in action and answer questions during my live stream on Friday 29th of October - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziJK79tI6tY

We the following of this set of hooks for our Terraform modules:

Take a look on pre-commit scripts for terraform: https://github.com/antonbabenko/pre-commit-terraform. Of course, you can run it before git operations, for example:

2. Terrascan: https://github.com/tenable/terrascan Terrascan detects security vulnerabilities and compliance violations across your IaC. Supports multiple cloud providers, ensuring that your infrastructure complies with security best practices.

‍Terrascan is a static code analysis tool that scans your Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) for security vulnerabilities and compliance violations. It supports multiple platforms like (AWS, Azure, GCP, K8s, Atlantis, etc), including Terraform. Terrascan allows you to enforce security best practices, compliance policies, and governance across your IaC deployments.

Terrascan - Scan for Infrastructure-as-Code vulnerabilities

(https://runterrascan.io/) They seem to like it, don't have a ton of my own experience though.

Nessus Expert - newer offering. Nessus Pro + terrascan + basic external attack surface mapping. Doesn’t scan from the internet, but shows you all your public domains, DNS, etc so you can pick what you want to scan/ fix

It is always a good practice to scan your Kubernetes deployment or Helm chart before deploying. We can use Checkov to scans Kubernetes manifests and identifies security and configuration issues. It also supports Helm chart scanning. We can also use terrascan and kubeLinter to scan the Kubernetes manifest.
