Cyberark: Scaling DevOps to Achieve Prime Productivity

The constant pressure from end-users to receive releases and updates of products on time has seen management at organizations make demands for a clear and concise system to run their DevOps functions. Cyberark, a leader in privileged access management is pushing through by coming to the aid of these organizational leaders to deliver a solution that assists developers, operations, and security while offering audits to maintain compliance. The Application Access Manager that Cyberark deploys secures and controls authorizations for applications, coding scripts, DevOps infrastructures, and any non-human entities connected to an enterprise network environment. Clients looking to onboard, can leverage other solutions that Cyberark provide as well to ensure consistent human and digital identity management across all their locations.

Cyberark’s Application Access Manager enables IT to have a multitude of crucial features such as comprehensive, sensitive data management, application auditing, highly scalable robust operating architecture, and a sizeable integrations library. The platform implementation offers DevOps crews to validate integrations of in-house and third-party applications, automation of processes with robotics, CI/CD toolsets, and PaaS solutions. The utilization of enterprise-grade API integration at Cyberark allows users of the platform to have secure interconnectivity between existing operations, applications, security, and DevOps tools. It helps organizations recoup their investment with sublime ROI schemes.

Besides the access management tool, Cyberark has a cybersecurity solution—Privileged Access Security that offers users access and identity management services. It protects highly classified credentials in use on a hybrid, cloud, and on-premise architectures throughout the DevOps conduit. The end-to-end operation automation feature that is part of the solution enables users to automate and simplify privileged account management tasks via REST APIs such as account workflow, onboarding rules, permissions granting and more. Privileged Access Security also offers stability in adherence with security and compliance regulations that allow for full, detailed reporting and searchable audit trails.

In one such instance, FS, a leading provider of value-added services with specificity to the telecom industry in Brazil and other parts of Latin America, was looking for a platform to manage the protection of privileged accounts used to login to their new cloud-based AWS data center. They also required an operational architecture that could track the changes made during deployment of services, and to have that information on hand for long term analysis and auditing. Every server on the connected network had its SSH key, administrative user, and multiple end-users connected to it at all times. The successful implementation of Cyberark’s solution enabled the IT team at FS to coherently and constructively secure, manage, and control access keys as per regulatory policies. It prevents unapproved entry into secured accounts and curbs the probability of a data break-in. As a result, the DevOps unit at FS was able to scale new heights and record a substantial decrease in errors, which led to higher proficiency in production.

Moving further, the team at Cyberark want to continue to be the pioneers that lead the way leveraging avant-garde solutions and services to enterprises that offer scalable, engaging and best-in-class DevOps tools. The company has won a multitude of awards over the years, a fact that is attributed to Cyberark’s humane approach toward their clients.
