Integrated Solution with Ansible Helps Secure
DevOps Environments Without Impacting Workflow and Agility
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.”
