<h1>1.The Key Principles of ‘Shift Left’ for Infrastructure and IAC</h1>
<ul>
<li><strong>Start Early</strong>: 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.</li>
<li><strong>Training for IAC</strong>: Ensure your infrastructure and IAC teams(cloud/devops/platform enginner) understand security best practices. This knowledge builds a security-focused culture.</li>
<li><strong>Automated Checks</strong>: 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.</li>
</ul>
