SONAR FOR IAC
Infrastructure as Code: secure cloud-native apps
Sonar provides a comprehensive code quality and security analysis solution to scan your IaC files in your managed cloud environments to review a wide range of possible issues or security vulnerabilities.
Trusted and loved by 7 million developers & 400,000+ organizations
It should be properly versioned, have its own pipeline AND it should be tested and secured. Sonar makes it easy to find and fix code issues in the popular languages and tools you’re using to configure and orchestrate your cloud infrastructures.
Sonar is your tool for clean code in IaC and popular cloud-native languages including JavaScript, Python, Java, Go and C#. You get depth and breadth.
Keeps vulnerabilities, bugs and code smells out of your biggest asset - your software!
Clean Code principles create safe, reliable infrastructures for your cloud-native apps
Give your apps a safe place to run. IaC specific rules find vulnerabilities in your cloud infrastructure to minimize user risk and safeguard your org's reputation.
Clean as You CodeTM empowers developers to write code with clear rules & expectations. Devs directly control code quality.
Avoid vendor lock-in. Relying on a single vendor limits choices & concentrates risk. Sonar supports AWS, Google Cloud and Azure.
Have fun learning IaC while Sonar protects your code. Sonar is always ready to catch those ‘oops’ mistakes before they fall through the cracks.
What sets Sonar apart from other solutions is the approach. In addition to spotting ‘no-doubt’ vulnerabilities, Sonar also employs the concept of Security Hotspots. This approach is designed to minimize false positives and maximize your efficiency.
Security Hotspots occur when security-sensitive code is used. The code usage might be okay, but a code review is necessary to know for sure.
Sonar provides a custom UI dedicated to Security Hotspot review. This allows developers and cloud engineers to quickly evaluate security risks while learning about secure coding practices. If the code snippet contains a vulnerability, you can assign it to someone or mark it safe if it doesn’t pose a risk.
Sonar also spots security vulnerabilities that require immediate attention. Sonar provides detailed issue descriptions, code highlights and contextual help that explain why your code is at risk.
Remediation is easy -> Just follow the guidance, check in a fix and secure your application!
The Sonar SAST engine detects vulnerabilities in a comprehensive range of categories
Explore SonarpediaDetect if your code is granting public access to security-sensitive resources
Discover if you’ve granted permissions that are typically out-of-scope in production
Ensure adequate encryption protocols for data at-rest and in-transit
Prevent inadvertent disabling or modifying of best-practice traceability mechanisms
What makes Sonar a solution and not just a tool is the simple, repeatable process it brings to your daily workflow. The difference is how much more proficient you become as a developer.
Clean as You Code is a simple, powerful methodology that progressively improves the overall quality of the code by solely focusing on code that is added or changed and ensuring that it's clean.
Added or changed code either passes or fails the quality standard. Fail the pipeline when the code quality doesn’t meet the threshold. Prevent code issues from being merged or deployed.
Receive Clean Code metrics at the right place and right time. Deal with real issues, not false positives, thanks to the precise Sonar static analysis.
Discover issues in context with a rule description that helps you understand WHY there is an issue. Sonar includes examples of compliant code so you understand HOW to fix it.
