Access keys

MySafe Access keys are security credentials that allow your applications to connect and interact with MySafe in an automated and secure manner, without needing to use user credentials directly. They function as "digital identities" for your applications, granting them specific permissions to access MySafe functionalities.

Functionalities

• Generation and management: create and manage Access keys directly within the MySafe interface, with full control over each key's permissions.
• Secure authentication: authenticate your applications with MySafe APIs using Access keys, without exposing user credentials in source code.
• Granular permission control: precisely define which items each key can access. This allows for highly specific control, ensuring that each application accesses only what is strictly necessary.
• Access revocation: revoke access for individual applications at any time by invalidating the corresponding Access keys.
• Monitoring and auditing: track the usage history of Access keys, identify potential suspicious activities, and ensure compliance with security policies.

Applicability

• Task automation: automate repetitive and complex tasks, such as user provisioning, password management, and integration with identity systems.
• Secure application development: build applications and services that interact with MySafe securely, without the need to store user credentials.
• Integration with security tools: integrate MySafe with other security tools, such as SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) solutions and identity and access management (IAM) platforms.
• Secure DevOps implementation: incorporate MySafe into your CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery) pipelines to automate secret management and ensure security throughout the software development lifecycle.

Conclusion

The MySafe Access keys feature provides a secure, flexible, and efficient way to connect your applications to MySafe, simplifying integration, automating tasks, and enhancing the security of your information.
