Automate Ansible Security Scanning Using KICS & GitHub Actions
In this video, we’ll explore how to automate Ansible playbook security scanning using KICS (Keeping Infrastructure as Code Secure) integrated with a self-hosted GitHub Actions runner.
🔐 This setup ensures that every code push or pull request triggers a KICS scan for vulnerabilities in Ansible YAML files and uploads a detailed HTML report to GitHub.
🚀 Key Highlights:
End-to-end GitHub Actions automation
Self-hosted runner with KICS CLI
Dynamic detection of modified Ansible files
Security report as a downloadable artifact
