Integrated Solution with Ansible Helps Secure DevOps Environments
Without Impacting Workflow and Agility
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 7, 2017--
AnsibleFest 2017 – CyberArk
(NASDAQ: CYBR),
the company that protects organizations from cyber
attacks that have made their way inside the network perimeter, today
announced the integration of the CyberArk
Conjur secrets management solution with Ansible. Organizations
benefit from automating privileged
account security best practices across DevOps environments while
continuing to deliver new applications at high velocity. CyberArk will
demonstrate the integration at AnsibleFest 2017.
As more organizations embrace DevOps, secrets – which consist of
privileged accounts, SSH/API keys, passwords, certificates and more –
are proliferating throughout the IT infrastructure. As with privileged
accounts, secrets can be misused or intentionally targeted and exploited
by malicious attackers to commandeer IT infrastructure, bypass security
controls and facilitate enterprise-wide cyber attacks.
Secrets are often hard-coded into files or application code, unchanged
or unmanaged, and are typically shared between machines, such as
microservices, tools and hosts; IT personnel; external developers;
subcontractors and more. This dramatically expands the attack surface of
an organization and represents a soft target for attackers to exploit.
The CyberArk Conjur integration with Ansible empowers DevOps and
security teams with security tools to automatically manage and better
secure secrets used by Ansible. The joint solution helps automate and
audit security and management tasks related to secrets used by Ansible.
CyberArk Conjur provides for secrets used by Ansible to be
authenticated, authorized and audited without interfering with workflows
familiar to Ansible users.
“DevOps and the automated software delivery pipeline utilize multiple
tools that require powerful secrets, which if compromised, will result
in costly compromises and a vulnerable pipeline of products,” said
Justin Nemmers, general manager, Ansible, Red Hat. “The integration with
CyberArk Conjur gives DevOps teams the ability to better secure secrets
used by Ansible, which reduces the attack surface while supporting the
automated delivery of reliable, high quality applications in any
environment.”
The CyberArk Conjur solution is an enterprise-proven, secrets
management solution that is tailored specifically for the
requirements of native cloud and DevOps environments. The solution helps
organizations secure and manage secrets used by machines, such as
microservices, applications, scripts, hosts, and CI/CD and configuration
management tools, as well as control access and monitor activities of
privileged users throughout the DevOps pipeline.
“Adopting DevOps workflows and driving successful outcomes for the
development and release of high quality, secure applications requires
organizations to strategically plan ahead for the increased demands of
high velocity deployment environments,” said Adam Bosnian, executive
vice president, global business development, CyberArk. “The integration
with Ansible embeds and automates privileged account security into
DevOps pipelines, making it easier for organizations to protect secrets
and mitigate security risks while maintaining speed.”
