What is Checkov?

Ensure that modifications are validated across a variety of resource types supported by major cloud service providers. During the build phase, utilize a simple Python policy-as-code framework to conduct scans of cloud resources aimed at identifying any misconfigurations. Leverage Checkov’s graph-oriented YAML policies to investigate the interconnections among cloud resources. Within the specific context of a repository's CI/CD processes and version control systems, execute, test, and fine-tune runner parameters. Tailor Checkov to develop your own distinct policies, providers, and suppression terms that align with your needs. By integrating this validation process into the developers' existing workflows, you can effectively prevent the deployment of misconfigurations. Enable automated comments on pull or merge requests in your repositories, thereby negating the necessity for establishing a CI pipeline or conducting periodic checks. The Bridgecrew platform is designed to automatically assess new pull requests, offering feedback that points out any policy violations it detects, which is crucial for maintaining continuous compliance and enhancing security within your cloud infrastructure. This proactive methodology significantly contributes to upholding best practices while simultaneously fortifying the overall security framework of your cloud environment. Regularly reviewing and refining these practices will ensure long-term resilience against potential vulnerabilities.
