We're thrilled to announce TerraGuard, a security analysis tool designed specifically for Terraform infrastructure.

The Problem

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has revolutionized how we deploy and manage cloud resources. Terraform, in particular, has become the de facto standard for multi-cloud infrastructure management. But with this power comes new security challenges.

Misconfigurations in Terraform code can lead to:

Our Solution

TerraGuard analyzes your Terraform plan files before deployment, identifying security risks and compliance issues. Built in Rust for performance, it can process large infrastructure plans in seconds.

Key Features

**Security Analysis**: Detect common misconfigurations like open security groups, unencrypted storage, and weak access policies.

**Compliance Reporting**: Generate reports for SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA frameworks with a single command.

**Guardrail Enforcement**: Set security policies that block insecure deployments in your CI/CD pipeline.

**Multi-Cloud Support**: Works with AWS, Azure, and Cloudflare providers out of the box.

Getting Started

Getting started with TerraGuard is simple:

# Generate a Terraform plan

terraform plan -out=plan.binary

terraform show -json plan.binary > tfplan.json

# Run TerraGuard analysis

terraguard tfplan.json --format html

What's Next

We're currently in private beta, working closely with early adopters to refine the product. If you're interested in securing your Terraform infrastructure, we'd love to have you join our beta program.
