aperçu
Detect vulnerabilities, compliance issues, and misconfigurations
historique
KICS, short for Keeping Infrastructure as Code Secure, is Checkmarx's open-source scanner for infrastructure-as-code vulnerabilities, compliance problems, and misconfigurations.
Checkmarx created the public KICS repository in 2020 and published v1.0.0 on 2020-11-30. The project arrived during the wider shift from manually provisioned infrastructure toward Terraform, Kubernetes, Helm, CloudFormation, Docker Compose, and other declarative infrastructure formats, where configuration mistakes can become security defects.
KICS adoption is tied to CI and DevSecOps workflows. Official materials document a GitHub Action, a Docker image, a standalone CLI, and broad platform coverage across Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, CloudFormation, Ansible, Helm, OpenAPI, gRPC, Azure Resource Manager, Pulumi, Serverless Framework, OpenTofu, Bicep, and more.
Users run `kics scan` or CI integrations against infrastructure repositories to catch risky cloud and orchestration settings before deployment. Query packs and documentation make it useful both for one-off audits and for policy-style checks in build pipelines.
KICS is significant because it packages a large IaC security rule corpus as a Go CLI that can be installed by package managers, run in containers, or embedded in GitHub workflows. It sits in the same package-nerd mental shelf as Terraform linters, policy engines, and static analyzers, but focuses on concrete misconfiguration checks across many IaC syntaxes.
