Prancer Enterprise provides Static Code Analysis for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and post-deployment validation for live cloud environments. It shifts the security to the left and provides end-to-end security scanning based on the Policy as Code. DevOps engineers can use it for static code analysis on IaC to find security drifts and maintain their cloud security posture with continuous compliance features.

Prancer Enterprise cloud security platform comes with more than 800 built-in policies. The security compliance policies available out of the box can detect the misconfigurations of code with every commit the engineer is making to the repository. It also can provide automatic remediation on the code and file a Pull Request (PR) on behalf of the user to fix the security issue. This increases the speed of deployment while maintaining high-security standards. SecOps teams can make sure all of their policies are in place and the IaC template is verified and validated before even the provisioning process starts. Prancer Enterprise supports major cloud providers and IaC languages, including Azure ARM templates, Azure Service Operator for Kubernetes and Terraform.
Prancer Enterprise uses Azure to reach a wide-scale audience in a short time, with built-in redundancy and security. The whole infrastructure runs on Azure and is secured by built-in Azure features. The solution is based on Microservices architecture and benefit from many Platform as a Service (PaaS) Azure resources for scalability, resiliency and security.
