Automating NPEs in Infrastructure-as-Code

Security teams must know what to trust and what not to trust at all times to effectively protect machine identities in dynamic environments. As a result, smart policy enforcement must be automated and embedded into the tools used by application development teams. By shifting machine identity processes left into the pre-production phase and hooking directly into automated DevOps workflows, security teams can regain control over X.509 certificates in fully automated environments.

To achieve shared services for infrastructure provisioning across clouds, teams need to define in code reproducible infrastructure as code practices. Used in combination with Venafi, HashiCorp Terraform, and many times in conjunction with Vault, build infrastructure with machine identities - or NPEs - that fit the smart policies and compliance required by security. This speeds DevOps teams’ performance with a fast, easy, and consistent service consumed in code.

Together, Venafi and HashiCorp deliver the platforms that empower DevOps and security teams to be successful in this multi-cloud generation. Join our webinar on November 9th to learn more about the features of the Venafi + HashiCorp integration:

• Eliminate hassle and risks of requesting and installing keys and certificates with native Terraform integration
• Elastically scale development without the constraints of traditional certificate pipelines
• Enable InfoSec and AppDev teams to work together seamlessly
• Fully automate the certificate issuance process for developers using Terraform
• Enable crypto-agility through Venafi's native and partner-built CA integrations
