Organizations in the defense industrial base (DIB) and beyond must meet stringent security requirements to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). With Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 assessments starting in 2025, achieving compliance while maintaining agility is a challenge.

This talk demonstrates how Terraform enables agility in high security environments aligned with NIST 800-171 controls, meeting CMMC Level 2.0 technical requirements. Through a detailed case study following implementation for a DIB customer, learn how to implement robust security controls with minimal friction using templatized infrastructure as code and reusable modules. Empower your organization to protect sensitive data without compromising operational efficiency. From this talk, the audience will leave with practical Terraform code and strategies for building secure-by-design, compliant infrastructure with minimal effort – providing insights applicable to other compliance frameworks.
