Hope everyone is enjoying the warmer weather! We're excited to announce our June virtual meeting discussing Conjur - an open source secrets management platform. We're equally excited to have Shlomo Heigh, Senior Software Engineer with CyberArk, as our presenter bringing us up to speed on his experiences with the Conjur platform and the overall value proposition of Conjur in terms of secrets management!
Agenda:
Presentation Abstract: The process of making our code more secure has many components, but how we secure the keys to our kingdom is probably the area with the most to lose. After all, if an attacker has your database credentials, you're toast. Yet many developers don't have a comprehensive system for managing such sensitive information. Do your software developers have access to the production database? If an employee quits, could they take their credentials with them, or could you easily revoke access without affecting the other developers or production deployments? Can you easily audit access to your secrets and see which applications are using them? Can you easily rotate secrets that are used in containerized deployments in multiple different clouds? In this talk we'll demonstrate how to solve all of these problems with Conjur, an open source secrets management application.
Speaker Bio: Hi! My name is Shlomo Heigh and I'm a senior software engineer at CyberArk. I maintain the Conjur open source secrets management application, primarily working on integrations with platforms like Kubernetes and engaging with the open source community. Before that, I was a full stack developer for a SaaS firm. I've worked with everything from Ruby to Go and am always looking for new things to learn. In my spare time I hang out with my wife and 3-year-old daughter, tinker with my 3D printer, and tend to my garden.
Looking forward to this great topic and discussion in June!
Thanks,
Adam
