Secrets Management & DevOps Security
Modern DevOps pipelines heavily rely on API keys, passwords, and tokens stored in code, configuration files, or unencrypted repositories. This leads to:
Credential Leakage:
Hardcoded secrets in public repos or logs.
Dynamic Environments:
Microservices spin up/down, requiring ephemeral secrets
Automation Complexity:
Managing secrets across multiple CI/CD tools, container platforms, and cloud providers.
Relevant CyberArk Solutions
CyberArk Conjur: Enterprise secrets management for DevOps and containerized microservices.
Application Access Manager: Securely vaults application credentials, rotating them automatically.
Integration Plugins: Ties into Jenkins, Kubernetes, Ansible, Terraform, and more.
Detailed Use Case
A SaaS provider uses GitLab CI, Kubernetes, and a variety of microservices. They suspect developer accounts might store credentials in plain text for convenience—risking a serious breach.
Conjur Deployment
Set up Conjur as a centralized secrets vault. Each microservice queries Conjur for dynamic credentials at runtime.
CI/CD Integration
Jenkins pipelines fetch ephemeral secrets from Conjur instead of storing them in environment variables or configuration files.
Policy-Driven Access
Only authorized services can retrieve specific secrets based on policy definitions in code.
Audit & Visibility
Every secret access request is logged for security oversight.
