Infrastructure as Code Security
Advanced DevSecOps & CI/CD Security
Simple
Infrastructure as Code Security is a building block of "Advanced DevSecOps & CI/CD Security". In plain terms: deep ci/cd, iac scanning, sast/dast/sca, sbom, secrets detection, supply-chain gates. This topic focuses specifically on infrastructure as code security and the core ideas you need to understand it.
Technical
Technically, Infrastructure as Code Security involves the mechanisms, data structures and protocols that underpin advanced devsecops & ci/cd security. You will study how it is implemented, how it is configured, how it fails, and how its behavior shows up in logs, traffic or code.
Why it matters
Builds on level 24 with pipeline-native security at scale.
Example
In a real organization, professionals working in devsecops, platform engineering, appsec. rely on infrastructure as code security to make decisions — for example, explaining an alert, hardening a system, or writing a finding in a report.
Practice idea
Build a small lab in a VM and experiment with infrastructure as code security using the related tools below. Document what you observe.
Deep dive
Read the official documentation and relevant RFCs/standards for Infrastructure as Code Security. Explore edge cases, internals, and how attackers and defenders view it differently.
