Snyk IaC analyzes infrastructure-as-code configurations for security misconfigurations before deployment. It is designed for developers, DevOps teams, AppSec teams, and organizations managing cloud infrastructure. Coverage includes Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, Helm charts, and ARM templates, with workflows spanning IDEs, the CLI, source-control systems, and CI/CD pipelines. Built-in rulesets draw on cloud best practices and CIS benchmarks, while custom policies use Open Policy Agent.

The published plans show a freemium model. Free provides access to IaC, SCA, SAST, and Container, along with real-time code scanning and IDE, CLI, and source-code-manager integrations. Team costs $25 USD per contributing developer per month and adds increased test limits per product, Jira integration, and next business day support. Ignite costs $1,260 USD per contributing developer per year and adds full platform capabilities access, unlimited code tests, custom security rules, and risk-based prioritization. Enterprise adds zero-day risk prevention, unified AppSec control and strategic security oversight, and full SDLC automation. According to the pricing page, products including IaC are available for individual purchase, with plan prices varying by product.

Its strongest fit is an established engineering organization that wants IaC checks embedded into existing development controls rather than a standalone configuration scanner. GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure Repos, Terraform Cloud, Jira, IDE integrations, and CI/CD integrations support a connected workflow. Pull-request checks, inline fix suggestions, automated testing, compliance reporting, and infrastructure drift management extend coverage from authoring through ongoing operations. Teams seeking only a narrow IaC tool may find the wider Snyk platform scope unnecessary, while teams that need policy governance, multiple framework analyses, and security oversight have a more suitable match.
