Delinea, a provider of privileged access management (PAM) solutions for seamless security, has announced the latest DevOps Secrets Vault release. Among other new and expanded features, the high-velocity vault for developers and security teams now supports Kubernetes, allowing for more secure credential management for containerized applications.
The release also includes dynamic secrets for MongoDB, expanding the list of developer-friendly databases supported.
“Developers know security is important, but often don’t have enough time to prioritize it. The focus for DevSecOps should be on seamless usability and automation for elastic and dynamic environments,” commented Phil Calvin, Chief Product Officer at Delinea. “By expanding Kubernetes support and adding dynamic secrets for MongoDB, we continue to give DevOps teams the ability to minimize security vulnerabilities related to hard-coded credentials.”
This version of DevOps Secrets Vault adds secure secret management for communication between Kubernetes containers. The webhook has been improved with dynamically updated secrets and support for custom namespaces. Credential management at high speeds is now available for DevOps teams using Windows sidecar containers.
MongoDB is one of the top-rated databases in the Stack Overflow 2021 Developer Survey, making it an appealing target for cyber attacks. DevOps Secrets Vault introduces dynamic secrets for MongoDB, which can create and delete local users in the database just-in-time.
With the addition of MongoDB support, DevOps and DevSecOps teams now have more options for securing access to the databases that developers prefer while minimizing standing privileges.
The latest release also improves the graphical user interface with auditing, policy management, and expanded secrets management, resulting in a more seamless and usable security experience when compared to the command-line interface.
