Sectigo
released Chef, Jenkins, JetStack Cert-Manager, Puppet, and SaltStack
integrations for its certificate management platform. The new integrations,
which expand upon Sectigo’s first round of DevOps integrations, seize the benefits of automation for
DevOps environments and further aid DevSecOps teams in speeding application
deployment by using automation to provision certificates.
Sectigo Certificate Manager, the heart of Sectigo’s Digital
Identity Platform, is used by hundreds of enterprises across the globe to
issue, renew, and manage certificates for their mission-critical applications.
With these new integrations, IT teams benefit from a centralized management
platform that can be used to enforce the security policies across the
organization. In addition, if enterprises prefer, they can continue to use
their DevOps tool or another PKI implementation for issuance, and still use
Sectigo Certificate Manager to monitor and report on their certificate
deployments.
“Enterprises are dealing with reduced staff and increased workloads, making
powerful automation tools for certificate management essential for DevOps
teams,” said Lindsay Kent, VP of Product Management, Sectigo. “Sectigo has not
only doubled integrations with leading configuration management and
orchestration platforms-continuing as the CA with the most DevOps
integrations-but also added a certificate management client SDK that enables
teams to easily customize their automated certificate installation. Our customers
can now integrate modules in GoLang, Python, Ruby, Java, with any DevOps CI/CD
tools, making rapid and secure application deployment even easier.”
Sectigo Certificate Manager customers can now benefit from 14 DevOps
integrations. In addition to Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, Terraform, and
HashiCorp Vault, released in fall 2019, Sectigo has delivered new integrations
with four client SDKs and five additional automation and orchestration tools:
-
Chef – Chef integration
helps improve automation across the enterprise IT estate and functional roles,
providing an environment where a business can build, deploy, and manage any
software, anywhere. Sectigo customers using Chef will benefit from multiple
modes of ‘continuous automation.’ - Jetstack
Cert-Manager – Cert-Manager is a powerful, general-purpose certificate
management controller for Kubernetes. The integration enables Sectigo customers
to obtain certificates from a variety of issuers and ensure that they are valid
and up-to-date and can renew certificates at a configured time before expiry. - Jenkins – This free and
open-source automation server helps speed software development, testing, and
deployment, facilitating continuous integration and delivery. - Puppet – Puppet solutions
automate how Sectigo customers continuously deliver, make complaints,
remediate, and manage their multi-cloud environments. - SaltStack – SaltStack
software automates repeated system administrative and code deployment tasks,
eliminating manual processes in a way that can reduce errors that occur when IT
organizations configure systems. The integration helps Sectigo customers
orchestrate and automate difficult IT tasks with speed and flexibility,
ultimately delivering continuous security compliance, vulnerability remediation,
and real IT security.
