Developers Can Rapidly Deploy Applications and Services While
Reducing Cyber Risk Throughout the DevOps Pipeline
NEWTON, Mass. & PETACH TIKVA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 6, 2017--
CyberArk
(NASDAQ: CYBR),
the undisputed leader in Privileged Account Security and company that
protects organizations from cyber
attacks across the enterprise, into the cloud and throughout the
DevOps pipeline, today announced the availability of an open source
version of CyberArk
Conjur. CyberArk Conjur enables DevOps teams to automatically secure
and manage secrets used by machines and users to protect containerized
and cloud-native applications across the DevOps
pipeline.
With increased DevOps adoption comes an expanding attack surface with an
exponential set of secrets that insiders and malicious external threat
actors can misuse, target and exploit. With CyberArk Conjur, DevOps
teams gain the simplicity they need to incorporate security best
practices into workflows. Secrets management is easily embedded into the
CI/CD process through certified integrations with leading developer
toolsets. The open source version of CyberArk Conjur is now available
for download from www.conjur.org
and GitHub.
“Developers tend to believe that security in development slows them
down. Continuous Integration, DevOps practices and automation improves
agility, but also introduces security risks, such as storing secrets in
source code repositories or leaving credentials sitting around on disk,”
said Adrian Lane, CTO, Securosis. “DevOps does not mean we need to
capitulate on build security; quite the contrary. We need to automate
secrets management into the process as well, and create an audit trail
to prove we're delivering code and services securely.”
CyberArk Conjur is the only platform-independent secrets
management solution specifically architected for securing containers
and microservices. It can be deployed to any cloud or on-premises
environment and supports massive scale. This solution allows DevOps
teams to integrate security best practices into their cloud-native
application development projects with ease, while giving security teams
assurance that security and compliance best practices are being applied
to these dynamic environments, without creating new security silos.
“JFrog uses CyberArk Conjur to secure our cloud infrastructure in order
to build and deliver DevOps software like Artifactory and Bintray,” said
Yoav Landman, co-founder and CTO, JFrog. “JFrog and open source go way
back to when we launched the company in 2008 through today where we are
providing free repositories and distribution services to millions of
open source developers. As a customer, we are pleased to see that
CyberArk is making a high quality open source version of Conjur
available to the community.”
Expanding Use of Open Source and the Path to More Secure DevOps
Adoption
According to 451
Research, there is a clear and quantitative relationship between
adoption of open-source software and DevOps success. However, there is a
gap in the tools available via the open source community to secure
applications leveraging new architectures based on containers and
microservices. Many of these tools are exceedingly complex to deploy and
create unmanaged security islands. As the market leader and innovator in Privileged
Account Security, CyberArk is uniquely qualified to contribute to
better security tooling that sets a new industry standard for secrets
management, enabling customers to move to a DevOps delivery model that
reduces risk without impacting velocity.
“Companies embracing digital transformation are adopting DevOps
methodologies and the cloud to bring new services to market at velocity,
and open source and community-driven development has become the dominant
paradigm,” said Elizabeth Lawler, vice president, DevOps security,
CyberArk. “Conjur has benefited and contributed to the open source
community throughout its history, so making Conjur available via open
source is an opportunity for CyberArk to share its expertise for the
betterment of cybersecurity globally.”
CyberArk Conjur enables organizations, regardless of where they are in
their DevOps journey, to integrate secrets management and machine
identity security into their projects with minimal effort. For customers
that require enterprise features or integration with the CyberArk
Privileged Account Security Solution, CyberArk offers a seamless
upgrade path from the open source version to CyberArk Conjur Enterprise.
Key Resources and Actions:
Additionally, CyberArk’s Elizabeth Lawler is delivering a keynote, “This
(DevOps) Changes Everything. Or Not?,” at DevSecCon Boston,
September 12, 2017 at 9:30 a.m. EDT.
