Compliance At Scale: Hardened Terraform Modules at Morgan Stanley

Morgan Stanley has been implementing secure Terraform modules that enforce our cloud security controls by default. The end goal is to allow free development of CSP accounts and resources using these modules without requiring additional security review.
This is achieved by defining secure defaults for the various Terraform resources, preventing freeform creation of resource and identity-based policies, and deriving values from the Terraform or CSP environment instead of allowing user input.
Our enforcement process is Sentinel-based including rules that block direct creation of Terraform resources, limiting users to the secure modules in our PMR.
Additional code samples and context sent to our account rep, Dmitry Ostrovsky.
Speakers: Brett Tegart and Itay Cohai
