Snyk tests and monitors CloudFormation files from source code repositories. It gives advice on how to better secure cloud environments by catching misconfigurations before they are pushed to production, along with assistance on how best to fix them.
Snyk scans CloudFormation files in JSON and YAML format when imported from an integrated Git repository. Scan a CloudFormation module repository by either importing the repo that holds the module from an SCM or by specifying the directory itself with the snyk iac test CLI command.
Scanning CloudFormation provides security feedback on everything that is statically configured in the module. To benefit from recurring and scheduled testing, follow the best practice of importing custom modules directly from an SCM.
