Implements automated security scanning for Infrastructure as Code using Checkov, tfsec, and KICS to detect misconfigurations in Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes manifests, and Helm charts, plus policy-based governance and CI/CD integration. Use when validating cloud infrastructure before deployment or blocking insecure changes (public S3 buckets, open security groups) in pull requests.

# Implementing Infrastructure as Code Security Scanning
## When to Use
- When provisioning cloud infrastructure with Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi and needing automated security validation
- When compliance frameworks require evidence of infrastructure configuration review before deployment
- When preventing common cloud misconfigurations like public S3 buckets, open security groups, or unencrypted storage
- When establishing guardrails that block insecure infrastructure changes in pull requests
- When managing multi-cloud environments requiring consistent security policies across AWS, Azure, and GCP
**Do not use** for scanning application source code (use SAST), for monitoring already-deployed infrastructure drift (use cloud security posture management tools), or for container image vulnerability scanning (use Trivy).
