Checkmarx SAST & The AWS Well-Architected Framework
Developing software in AWS Cloud delivers a host of business benefits. Sharpening that all-important competitive edge demands the speed and scalability cloud-native development delivers. For software- centric organizations, AWS Developer Tools are a must have for today’s modern applications.
But the advantages of rapid release cycles and unlimited scalability also come with challenges around security, governance, and resilience. It’s not easy to see through the complexity and interdependencies of cloud infrastructure to map out all the impacts a decision taken in one area has on performance, availability, security, and resilience in other areas.
In this white paper, we’ll explore the AWS Well-Architected Framework and look at best practices when using Checkmarx SAST to scan software code—within the context of AWS principles and philosophy.
