This document aims to explain the capabilities of DSM Automation, a powerful tool designed to facilitate the execution of commands in secret management solutions that accept interaction through command-line interfaces (CLI) in Linux environments. Furthermore, we highlight the flexibility clients have to create their own automated templates and offer a range of ready-to-use templates for popular cloud and secret management services.
Segura DSM automation features
CLI interaction in Linux
DSM Automation allows users to execute commands directly on their secret management solutions that support CLI interaction in Linux. This provides great versatility, as many secret management solutions adopt the CLI as a control method, allowing the manipulation of secrets, such as creation, reading, updating, and deletion, efficiently and programmatically.
Custom automated templates
Clients have the freedom to create their own templates using DSM Automation. This means they can adapt and customize commands and secret management routines according to their specific needs, optimizing processes and ensuring security more aligned with their internal policies.
Ready-to-use templates
To further facilitate the user experience, DSM Automation offers a series of ready-to-use templates with the following secret management solutions:
- AWS Secrets Manager: Template that allows immediate integration with the Amazon Web Services secret management service, enabling the automation of tasks such as key rotation and access to stored secrets.
- Azure Key Vault: With this template, clients can automate the management of keys and secrets in Azure Key Vault, the Microsoft Azure secret management service.
- HashiCorp Vault: This template offers direct integration with HashiCorp Vault, a widely used solution for protecting and managing sensitive data in large IT infrastructures.
Benefits for the client
- Operational efficiency: the automation of routine tasks reduces the time spent on manual operations, allowing system administrators to focus on strategic tasks.
- Enhanced security: automated secret handling minimizes human exposure to sensitive data, which is a best practice for information security.
- Customization: the ability to create custom templates ensures that the solution can be tailored to meet specific business and security requirements.
- Fast integration: with ready-made templates for AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, and HashiCorp Vault, initial implementation is quick and allows clients to start using DSM Automation without delay.
Conclusion
DSM Automation is a robust solution that offers both the flexibility of creating custom templates and the convenience of ready-made templates for the main secret management services. This allows clients to automate their secret management tasks efficiently and securely, adapting quickly to different environments and requirements.
