ControlMonkey Adds Dashboard to Manage IaC Risk - DevOps.com
Briefly

ControlMonkey introduced a risk index dashboard to enhance its automation platform for managing infrastructure as code using Terraform. The dashboard highlights vulnerabilities and offers insights into infrastructure delivery methods. Research indicates unmanaged infrastructure poses double the security risks, while provisioning is significantly lower than IT teams estimate. This initiative aims to improve collaboration between cloud and security teams by offering a unified view of risks. The platform uses AI technologies to generate customized Terraform code, which enhances developer efficiency and addresses common cybersecurity issues stemming from misconfigurations.
The IaC Risk Index dashboard not only identifies vulnerabilities but also provides insights into how infrastructure was delivered and whether it has been provisioned using code.
ControlMonkey research shows that unmanaged infrastructure is twice as likely to have security risks that have not been addressed, underscoring the importance of proper management.
The average amount of infrastructure provisioned using IaC tools is 30 to 40% less than most IT teams estimate, highlighting a significant gap in awareness.
ControlMonkey's platform employs AI technologies that generate tailored Terraform code, ultimately improving developers' efficiency and the quality of cloud infrastructure management.
