Identity Certificate Flashcards
Identity Certificates (10)
A lot of the feedback we’ve gotten about software security solutions from talking to engineers, SRE’s, DevOps, is that they’re disruptive to their workflow, and a lot of times they may feel the need to create things around the solution like backdoors to get their jobs done.
We wanted to create a solution for secure developer access that doesn’t get in the way, and our answer to that is an easy to use short-lived configurable certificates as opposed to shared credentials( like SSH keys) out of the box. Assuming you’re using an SSO today (anything that speaks OIDC or SAML) we found a way to pull the identity from that SSO provider, and encode it into a short lived certificate so you can provide role based access. We bring native support for identity-based access for all resources, by enforcing automatic and painless certificate-based authentication and authorization.
