The Answer
Whether it’s an on-premises team or one distributed across multiple cloud platforms, effective DevOps for critical business system deployment necessitates a balance of user-friendliness, speed, and security. In the past, acquiring compliant certificates was a time-consuming process that hindered the rapid development of new software workflows. The consolidated solution from Venafi, HashiCorp, Thales, and now, Accutive Security, provides a perfect blend of speed and foundational trust for developers. By connecting DevOps tools with certificate authorities, this solution delivers an automated and efficient approach to provisioning SSL certificates that adhere to enterprise trust standards and are readily accessible right from developers’ toolkits. This seamless integration enables developers to maintain the momentum of agile development processes without violating security policy compliance.
Venafi’s Trust Protection Platform supervises and automates all PKI certificates, keeping pace with DevOps’ demand for speed. Thales’ Luna HSMs, available both onpremises and as a cloud HSM service through Thales’ Data Protection on Demand (DPoD), supply the essential HSM key stores required to avert compromises. They do this by protecting the master keys of HashiCorp Vault and Venafi Trust Protection Platform, and providing the public certificate authority (CA) with a more secure root of trust for DevOps.
Business Impact
Traditionally, managing PKI infrastructure has been a manual process, involving the generation of a private key and CSR, submission to a CA, followed by a waiting period for a verification and signing process to complete. This collaborative solution simplifies PKI infrastructure into a single command or potentially an entirely automated process. Thales and Venafi also work closely with public CAs like DigiCert, Entrust Datacard, GlobalSign, PrimeKey, and Sectigo, ensuring that customers receive secure, high-quality, and compliant SSL certificates meeting their compliance and DevOps requirements.
