Cortex Cloud Application Security integrates compliance controls directly into your development ecosystem, enabling a shift-left approach to regulatory adherence. The framework maps Infrastructure as Code (IaC) misconfigurations and CI/CD security risk findings to supported industry standards.

The compliance framework automatically maps IaC misconfiguration rules (such as unencrypted storage or open security groups) and CI/CD security risks (such as insecure runner configurations or lack of branch protection) to supported industry standards. This enables targeted reporting and granular filtering by specific controls, such as CIS Benchmarks or OWASP requirements.

By configuring automated policies to alert developers or block builds when violations occur, you ensure that neither vulnerable infrastructure nor insecure delivery pipelines reach production.

Monitor and track compliance adherence

Monitor and track compliance adherence for your infrastructure code and CI/CD pipeline assets by checking whether your templates and configurations adhere to industry standards or your organization's best practices.
