Enterprises adopt DevOps and CI/CD methodologies to accelerate the pace of innovation, eliminate inefficiencies and reduce costs. While this is a giant step forward for businesses, it often introduces complex authentication, authorization and auditing challenges for security teams. Securing credentials and secrets in dynamic DevOps and cloud-based infrastructure requires solutions that are able to support these highly automated dynamic environments by authenticating and managing machine-based identities. Additionally, IT operations and security want to leverage the security policies they have already established across the enterprise, to consistently enforce access policies and avoid disjointed or stand-alone approaches which hamper the pace of development and create additional risk.
DevOps requires a new, centralized approach to secrets management and access control that removes credentials and secrets (i.e. passwords, SSH keys and API keys) from applications and source code control systems, unifies reporting and administration, eliminates friction and fosters programmability and automation.
CyberArk Conjur Enterprise, part of the CyberArk Privileged Access Security Solution, is an enterprise-proven secrets management solution, tailored specifically to the unique infrastructure requirements of native cloud, containerized applications and DevOps environments. The solution helps organizations to secure and manage secrets used by machines and users throughout the DevOps pipeline. With Conjur Enterprise, developers can easily protect secrets, keys, certificates and authentication data. All can be stored more securely—out of repositories, out of source code and off of developer’s laptops —for powerful protection, control and manageability.
While Conjur can be used to apply security controls and best practices anywhere in cloud automation and the continuous software delivery pipeline, here are three common use cases:
