Abstract
The present invention relates to novel techniques for monitoring changes to source code of Infrastructure as Code systems to detect attempted anomalous changes and block such changes from the code. For example, a method may comprise learning a security architecture and history of an infrastructure as code system to be deployed in at least one cloud account, monitoring changes to source code of the infrastructure as code system that are made before deployment of the infrastructure as code system to detect an anomaly, determining whether the detected anomaly affects regulated resources of the infrastructure as code system, and blocking changes to the source code of the infrastructure as code system that produce the detected anomaly that affects regulated resources of the infrastructure as code system.
