Offerings
In today’s complex IT environments, multiple scripts, processes and applications need to access multi-platform resources to retrieve and store sensitive information. Such applications are granted use of dedicated accounts, usually allowing unlimited access to an enterprise’s most sensitive assets. As a result, these accounts are often the victim of ongoing targeted attacks. Indeed, many of the recent sophisticated attacks reported stemmed from the compromise of hard-coded privileged credentials. Securing, managing and automatically replacing these embedded and locally stored credentials can impose significant challenges and overhead costs to IT departments. Consequently, many organizations never change hard-coded, embedded passwords or locally stored SSH keys for applications, leaving the organization vulnerable to an attack.
Secrets Manager Credential Providers™, part of CyberArk’s Privileged Access Security solution, eliminates the need to store application-to-application passwords in applications, scripts or configuration files, and allows these highly-sensitive passwords to be centrally stored, logged and managed with CyberArk’s patented Vaulting Technology®.
