Workload Identity Manager
Agile workload identity issuance and governance for modern environments
The industry’s first workload identity issuer featuring built-in trust validation and authentication.
Lightweight and ephemeral, CyberArk Workload Identity Manager (formerly known as Venafi Firefly) goes beyond conventional PKI systems, bridging the gap between platform efficiency and security compliance.
By working in tandem with our other machine identity solutions, Workload Identity Manager combines centralized governance with decentralized identity issuance, empowering your team to securely validate and authenticate every workload identity, in every environment.
Workload identity issuer of the future
By combining centralized governance with decentralized identity issuance, you can empower teams to validate and authenticate all workload identities in your enterprise.
Just-in-time workload identity issuance and authentication
Traditional secrets managers and legacy PKIs can’t handle modern, decentralized workflows, but the solution deploys authenticated workload identities, whenever, wherever they’re needed, even in hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
SPIFFE support offers robust governance and trust
Developers have a need for speed, and this first-of-its-kind solution provides support for SPIFFE standards, offering governance and trust at the velocity they demand.
Instant compliance
Enables InfoSec to give platform teams a workload identity issuer with built-in trust validation.
Easily distributed
Assigns and distributes trust anchors to use in development workflows, which align with the exact needs of platform teams.
Replace rogue CAs
Removes the risk of unvalidated CAs, replacing them with trusted workload identity issuers to help meet zero-trust security requirements.
Crypto-agile
Provides localized issuance to meet workload identity needs for high-velocity cloud native development.
Cloud-agnostic
Delivers workload identity governance for multi-cloud environments; offers SPIFFE support to create an enterprise-wide trust root system.
Solves the secret zero
Eliminates the need for persistent, long-term secrets in certificates; more efficient lifecycle management using short-lived workload identities.
Issue and govern workload identities anytime, anywhere
Simplify and streamline the authentication of workloads across various platforms, whether it’s public clouds, Kubernetes (including Istio) or dedicated infrastructures.
How it works:
Consistently automate and govern your workload identities through distributed trust anchors and ensure seamless authentication across different environments.
Enable your workload identities to authenticate seamlessly, no matter where they operate in a multi-cloud setup.
How it works:
Workload Identity Manager works with SPIFFE for workload identity federation to allow your workloads to access various cloud APIs using approved PKI, ensuring seamless authentication.
Remove the overhead of managing secrets with ephemeral workload identities.
How it works:
Development teams can rely on short-lived workload identities, with approved PKI, to reduce the complexity and overhead associated with traditional secrets management.
Workload Identity Manager is unmatched in reducing complexity and increasing development speed.
At Diebold Nixdorf, refactoring legacy applications to be cloud native is a priority for us. We need to give developers and platform teams a machine identity issuer that is lightweight, works on all cloud platforms, is super high speed and is easy to deploy. Workload Identity Manager meets these required capabilities. In addition, it gives security teams visibility and policy control over machine identities. It combines the best of two worlds — we can go as fast as we need to and do so securely.
