Checkov is a static code analysis tool that performs infrastructure as code (IaC) security scanning and software composition analysis (SCA). The tool scans cloud infrastructure configurations across multiple platforms including Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, Dockerfile, and other IaC frameworks to identify security and compliance misconfigurations. Checkov performs software composition analysis by scanning open source packages and container images to detect Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) in dependencies. The tool integrates into development workflows to identify security issues early in the development lifecycle, supporting both infrastructure code and application dependencies. Checkov provides policy-as-code capabilities with built-in security policies and supports custom policy creation for specific compliance requirements. The tool generates detailed reports highlighting security misconfigurations, compliance violations, and vulnerable dependencies with remediation guidance. Checkov supports integration with CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated security scanning as part of the development process.
