Overview
Checkov (https://www.checkov.io/) is a tool for scanning IaC resources defined in Terraform, Cloudformation, ARM. etc. It generates a report listing vulnerabilities and possible misconfigurations from a security standpoint.
The output from a Checkov run shows the vulneribility and a link to remediations. This is similar to other tools available in Azure, AWS and GCP. However, checkov scans the code not the actual resources. This is useful in test/validation stage before code is pushed to production. If you want to scan the actual resources, use one of the tools provided by the cloud provider.
