CMMC for Legacy Equipment: Practical Compliance for Machines & Industrial Systems

Legacy equipment is among the most critical assets in defense manufacturing and government facilities. They are also among the hardest to secure. These systems cannot be patched, cannot support MFA, cannot run agents and often cannot be taken offline without disrupting production or mission readiness.

Under CMMC 2.0, these assets are explicitly recognized in NIST 800-171 as “Specialized Assets,” yet many organizations struggle to bring them into compliance using traditional IT security approaches.

In this webinar participants learned:

• Why essential OT systems create major gaps in CMMC 2.0 readiness.
• How to apply NIST 800-171 controls to equipment that can’t be patched, updated or secured with agents.
• How Trout’s on-premise enclave protects and isolates critical legacy systems.
• How software-defined segmentation avoids network redesigns and downtime.
• How manufacturers can reach CMMC readiness in weeks, even with decades-old machines on the floor.
