CI/CD automation is a key DevOps practice that streamlines software delivery by automating the integration and deployment processes. In the context of privileged access and credential management, CI/CD pipelines often require access to APIs and services, which traditionally relied on hard-coded credentials in scripts or configuration files. This practice poses serious security risks.
By integrating secure vaults and automated credential injection, CI/CD automation replaces static credentials with dynamic, centrally managed ones. This ensures that credentials are never exposed in source code or configuration files. Products like Devolutions PAM and Devolutions Server can facilitate this process by brokering access to secrets and injecting them only at runtime.
This approach improves security, simplifies credential rotation, and helps organizations enforce least privilege policies in their DevOps environments.
