1.The Key Principles of ‘Shift Left’ for Infrastructure and IAC
- Start Early: The ‘Shift Left’ journey begins with getting your security teams involved in infrastructure and IAC planning right from the start. Their insights help prevent problems early on.
- Training for IAC: Ensure your infrastructure and IAC teams(cloud/devops/platform enginner) understand security best practices. This knowledge builds a security-focused culture.
- Automated Checks: Use tools that automatically check your infrastructure and IAC code for security issues in early stages in cicd . This helps catch problems early and reduces risks.
