KICS (pronounced as 'kick-s') or Kicscan is an open source solution for static code analysis of Infrastructure as Code.
Keeping Infrastructure as Code Secure (in short KICS) is a must-have for any cloud native project. With KICS, finding security vulnerabilities, compliance issues, and infrastructure misconfigurations happens early in the development cycle, when fixing these is straightforward and cheap.
It is as simple as running a CLI tool, making it easy to integrate into any project CI.
