Organizations juggle numerous guidelines to maintain their overall security posture. A new risk index seeks to assist firms in understanding and managing security risks associated with their infrastructure-as-code environments. Infrastructure-as-code provides organizations with an automated way to implement and maintain infrastructure. The security and IT professionals can use tools to manage cloud and IT resources, accelerate system speed and performance, and boost security across the IT environment. On the other hand, improper infrastructure-as-code management can expose to risks which result in misconfigurations and unintentional data exposure. Attackers can and will take advantage of the mistakes.
