Find security vulnerabilities, compliance issues, and infrastructure misconfigurations early in the development cycle of your infrastructure-as-code with KICS by Checkmarx.

KICS stands for Keeping Infrastructure as Code Secure, it is open source and is a must-have for any cloud native project.

In order to run the Databricks, NIFCloud and TencentCloud queries, use the --experimental-queries flag when running KICS.

Setting up and using KICS is super-easy.

• First, see how to install and get KICS running.
• Then explore KICS output results format and quickly fix the issues detected.

Interested in more advanced stuff?

• Deep dive into KICS queries.
• Understand how to integrate KICS in your favourite CI/CD pipelines.

See KICS documentation for more details and topics.

What makes KICS really powerful and popular is its built-in extensibility. This extensibility is achieved by:

• Fully customizable and adjustable heuristics rules, called queries. These can be easily edited, extended and added.
• Robust but yet simple architecture, which allows quick addition of support for new Infrastructure as Code solutions.
