What is CyberArk Conjur and how does it function? CyberArk Conjur is an open-source platform that enables organizations to control, authenticate, and monitor access across various tools, containers, applications, and cloud environments by managing secrets. It helps organizations implement best practices for secret management, such as least privilege, role-based access control (RBAC), strong authentication, credential rotation, and audit. Users can easily manage, secure, store, and retrieve secrets across containerization, secure CI/CD tool stacks, and cloud platforms, allowing them to focus more on delivering value rather than spending time learning the tool. The platform ensures resiliency and consistency through security policy as code, allowing operations and DevOps teams to restore access policies for applications and microservices to a previous known state. Conjur ensures secure access to tools, applications, critical infrastructure, and sensitive data by tightly controlling secrets through granular Role-Based Access Control. When access is requested, the platform authenticates the application and performs an authorization check before securely distributing the secret. CyberArk Conjur also offers Secret-less capability, which allows applications to securely connect to protected services and resources without the need to fetch, manage, or handle secrets.
