What is IaC?
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a methodology for managing and provisioning IT infrastructure through code instead of manual processes. With IaC, the desired state of infrastructure is defined in configuration files that automate the setup and management of servers, networks, databases, and other resources. From a cybersecurity perspective, this enables consistent, repeatable, and secure infrastructure that can be version-controlled just like any other software.
Think of IaC as the transition from handcrafted to machine-produced infrastructure. Just as industrial production replaces craftsmanship with automated processes to ensure consistency and reliability, IaC replaces manual infrastructure configurations with code. This reduserer human error, ensures auditability, and enables security controls as part of the infrastructure definition itself.
Sicra and IaC
Sicra has deep expertise in IaC as part of our holistic approach to secure cloud development and operations. We help customers implement secure infrastructure as code through tools like Terraform and Bicep, making security requirements an integral part of infrastructure deployment. This enables faster deployments while maintaining consistent security configurations and best practices.
