tfsec

brew install tfsec v1.28.14 MIT

Static analysis security scanner for Terraform code, written in Go.

Why you might care

Scans Terraform files for misconfigurations, compliance violations, and security best practices before deployment. Integrates into CI/CD pipelines and pre-commit hooks to catch infrastructure-as-code issues early. Faster single-binary alternative to manual code review or heavier policy-as-code frameworks.
