Preventing Cloud Security Misconfigurations and Application Vulnerabilities through the Implementation of Policy as Code in DevSecOps. More specifically, enforcing policy-as-code helps in these important ways.

• It speeds up security testing. With automated policy enforcement, security testing can be triggered without manual intervention, and only when needed.
• It increases efficiency. By removing manual policy enforcement from the equation, policies can be updated and shared dynamically, removing unnecessary human elements that slow the process down.
• It minimizes mistakes and enables validation. With automated policies in place, errors caused by human involvement are avoided. Additionally, when policies are written in code, it’s easy to run validation activities and ensure accuracy.
