A robust open-source interface designed for secure authentication, management, and auditing of non-human access across multiple tools, applications, containers, and cloud environments is crucial for effective secrets management. These secrets are essential for accessing various applications, critical infrastructure, and other sensitive data. Conjur strengthens this security framework by implementing strict Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to manage secrets effectively. When an application requests access to a resource, Conjur first verifies the application's identity, followed by an assessment of its authorization based on the defined security policy, before securely delivering the required secret. The architecture of Conjur operates on the principle of treating security policies as code, with these policies documented in .yml files, version-controlled, and uploaded to the Conjur server. This methodology elevates the importance of security policy to that of other elements in source control, promoting greater transparency and collaboration regarding the security practices of the organization. Moreover, the capability to version control security policies not only simplifies updates and reviews but also significantly bolsters the overall security posture of the organization, ensuring that security remains a priority at all levels. In this way, Conjur contributes to a comprehensive approach to managing sensitive information securely and efficiently.
