Securing Cloud Infrastructure at Scale with ThreatModeler and HashiCorp

Cloud infrastructure has become the foundation of modern innovation. But as organizations move faster and scale across multiple environments, ensuring consistent security becomes increasingly complex.

To help enterprises address the growing challenges of securing cloud infrastructure at scale, ThreatModeler and HashiCorp partnered to bring together two areas of strength: Infrastructure as Code and intelligent threat modeling.

Through this partnership, HashiCorp Terraform Enterprise, the standard for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) automation, and ThreatModeler, the leader in intelligent threat modeling, enable organizations to build secure-by-design cloud environments with speed, consistency, and confidence.

This architectural alignment connects cloud infrastructure design with threat modeling—the foundation of secure-by-design practices—to accelerate secure innovation.

The Power of Infrastructure as Code

Infrastructure as Code has transformed how enterprises build, manage, and scale their cloud environments. IaC enables teams to deliver faster, operate more consistently, and manage complex environments within a single framework.

By codifying infrastructure, teams gain not just agility but also the ability to extend secure-by-design practices across their entire cloud ecosystem. With HashiCorp Terraform Enterprise, threat modeling can begin the moment a new template is created, turning automation into continuous security.

Secure-by-Design from the Start

ThreatModeler and HashiCorp Terraform Enterprise work together to operationalize secure-by-design principles across cloud environments.

• Unified by Design: Terraform Enterprise automates infrastructure provisioning, while ThreatModeler continuously models risk and maps security controls, creating a closed loop between configuration and security.
• Continuous Alignment: As Terraform templates evolve, ThreatModeler updates threat models in real time, maintaining visibility across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
• Shared Intelligence: Security and infrastructure teams collaborate around a single source of truth, supported by Terraform Enterprise’s governance and ThreatModeler’s intelligent threat modeling.

Together, these capabilities enable enterprises to move at cloud speed while maintaining built-in compliance and risk awareness at every stage.

From Code to Model

The integration between HashiCorp Terraform Enterprise and ThreatModeler is seamless. Once a secure API connection is configured, the process runs automatically with no plug-ins, manual imports, or extra setup required. ThreatModeler continuously monitors Terraform Enterprise for updates, ensuring that every change to the infrastructure is instantly reflected in corresponding threat models.

Here’s how it works:

1. Update and Commit: Terraform users make configuration changes and commit them in Terraform Enterprise as part of their normal workflow.
2. Terraform Plan Runs: Terraform Enterprise validates the change and, during the post-plan phase, securely passes state and configuration data to ThreatModeler.
3. Automatic Model Generation: ThreatModeler detects the update, generates or refreshes the corresponding threat model, and maps relevant threats and security requirements.
4. Continuous Alignment: The new or modified infrastructure is instantly reflected in ThreatModeler, keeping models synchronized across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
5. Built-In Assurance: Every Terraform update keeps the threat model up to date, maintaining visibility, compliance, and security at the speed of delivery.

Together, Terraform Enterprise and ThreatModeler make threat modeling an effortless part of the infrastructure lifecycle—continuous, automated, and always aligned.

Why It Matters

By combining Terraform Enterprise and ThreatModeler, organizations gain a unified approach to cloud security—built for speed, compliance, and continuous assurance.

• Security from the Start: Identify and address risks the moment new Terraform templates are created.
• Continuous Alignment: Keep security models in sync with live infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
• Automated Compliance: Map risks and security controls to more than 180 frameworks for faster, audit-ready reporting.
• Efficiency at Scale: Eliminate manual model updates and reduce the effort required to maintain security assurance.
• Actionable Insight: Visualize attack paths and residual risks to focus remediation efforts where they matter most.

With this joint integration, enterprises can operate with confidence and speed, knowing their cloud infrastructure remains secure, compliant, and continuously aligned with every deployment.
