Organizations are turning to DevOps environments as an efficient method for software development and deployment, taking advantage of agile methodologies like Scrum that have become popular over recent years.
Unfortunately, DevOps environments' increased velocity and effectiveness also create greater vulnerabilities that cybercriminals may exploit; to reduce these risks organizations must prioritize security within their DevOps environments; CyberArk is one such solution provider which might prove invaluable in this respect.
CyberArk Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions help organizations safeguard their DevOps environments by securely controlling and protecting privileged access to essential infrastructure and applications. CyberArk allows organizations to:
Regulate and oversee privileged access.
CyberArk helps organizations manage and oversee access to DevOps environments by authorizing only authorized users access crucial infrastructure and applications. CyberArk also empowers organizations by:
Role-based access control (RBAC) ensures users only gain access to resources essential for carrying out their job duties, while multi-factor authentication (MFA) authenticates users prior to providing access.
Keep tabs on and observe user actions in real-time, promptly notifying security teams if any potentially questionable conduct emerges.
Secure Confidential Information and Authorize Data.
Secrets and credentials are vital components of DevOps environments, yet if compromised they allow cybercriminals access to an organization's infrastructure and applications without restrictions or controls in place. CyberArk assists organizations by protecting sensitive data as well as authentication details through:
Securing confidential and sensitive data by placing them in an extremely safe repository that employs advanced encryption techniques for their protection. Implementing stringent access control to restrict secrets and credentials only to authorized individuals.
Switching passwords automatically to reduce credential theft or misuse; * Implement automated security processes
Automation is key in DevOps environments, and CyberArk assists organizations by automating security procedures - decreasing human errors while strengthening overall security stance. CyberArk empowers organizations by:
Integrate PAM (Privileged Access Management) into DevOps tools and workflows, helping integrate security measures more seamlessly into development process.
Integrate an automated system for managing secrets to reduce the chances of secrets becoming embedded directly in applications or stored in vulnerable locations, and mandate regular automated access reviews so as to assess and approve access requests.
Adherence to Regulations
CyberArk can assist organizations in meeting regulatory compliance with regards to DevOps environments such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR by offering various tools. CyberArk allows organizations to abide by such requirements more easily - this includes tools like:
Implementing access controls that adhere to regulatory mandates. Implementing audit trails that demonstrate their adherence with regulations. And finally enabling organizations to quickly detect and respond to security incidents by employing real-time monitoring and alerts systems.
CyberArk is an efficient solution that assists organizations in protecting their DevOps environments from potential cyber attacks while adhering to regulatory requirements. By exercising control and surveillance over privileged access, safeguarding secrets and credentials, automating security procedures and adhering to regulations they can establish secure DevOps environments while speeding software development while mitigating risks posed by DevOps environments such as CyberArk will play an integral part in maintaining an exemplary security stance within organizations.
As DevOps environments mature so will the importance of solutions such as CyberArk become indispensable aiding organizations in uphold robust security posture within organizations ensuring successful software development/deployments while mitigating potential risks while expedited software development/deployments while mitigating potential risks from DevOps environments while maintaining robust security measures - giving organizations peace of mind when conducting software development/deployments whilst meeting regulatory requirements.
