Static analysis for Terraform IaC
Use static code analysis to surface Terraform issues—misconfigurations, security risks, and maintainability concerns—before they reach production. Sonar delivers fast, actionable feedback in your workflow so you can ship infrastructure changes with confidence.
Own the code security of your Terraform
The Sonar SAST engine detects vulnerabilities so you're building on a solid foundation
Public access
Detect if your code is granting public access to security-sensitive resources
Permissions
Discover if you’ve granted permissions that are typically out-of-scope in production
Encryption
Ensure adequate encryption protocols for data at-rest and in-transit
Traceability
Prevent inadvertent disabling or modifying of best-practice traceability mechanisms
Support for your cloud provider of choice
