Worked on the DataDog/kics repository to enhance AWS misconfiguration detection, streamline SARIF report outputs, and improve scan stability and performance. Refined Rego rules to increase the accuracy of identifying encryption and logging issues across AWS resources, consolidating logic for maintainability and better security analytics. Improved user experience by removing unnecessary platform data from SARIF reports and reducing log noise through targeted logging adjustments. Enhanced the scan workflow by introducing context management with timeouts, optimizing concurrency with a fixed-size worker pool, and performing extensive code cleanup and refactoring. Utilized Go and Rego, emphasizing clean code practices, error handling, and resource management.
