The CyberArk Conjur integration allows ANOW! Automate to leverage Conjur as its external secrets store, ensuring sensitive values like passwords and API keys are never stored directly within ANOW! Automate. This unifies secrets management across CI/CD pipelines and workload automation, enabling consistent security policies and dynamic retrieval at runtime.
The CyberArk Conjur integration with ANOW! Automate establishes Conjur as the dedicated secrets manager for ANOW! Automate's workload automation processes. This integration enables ANOW! Automate to dynamically retrieve sensitive values, including passwords, SSH keys, API keys, and certificates, from Conjur at the point of runtime execution. This ensures that the same robust secrets management system used for DevOps and containerized environments can also securely back workload automation, maintaining consistency and centralized control over critical credentials.
ANOW! Automate's Secret Vault functionality facilitates this integration. Sensitive values are never stored within ANOW! Automate itself, but are retrieved using a predefined authentication method from the external Conjur vault. This retrieval process uses 'User' authentication, requiring a username and password, along with parameters such as Authentication URL, Appliance URL, Conjur Account, and trust store details to establish a secure connection.
This integration is designed for enterprise IT decision-makers in large organizations with complex hybrid IT landscapes, particularly those heavily invested in DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and Kubernetes environments. Security teams can keep credential ownership in their established vault, so automation runs consistently and inherits existing rotation, expiration, and access policies from Conjur, without needing to duplicate these critical security parameters in ANOW! Automate.
ANOW! Automate retrieves sensitive values directly from CyberArk Conjur at runtime. This ensures that passwords, API keys, and certificates are centrally managed within Conjur, maintaining a single source of truth for secrets across DevOps and automation workflows and enhancing overall security posture.
By integrating with Conjur, ANOW! Automate inherently adopts your organization's existing credential rotation, expiration, and access policies. This eliminates the need to duplicate security parameters, simplifies audit trails, and strengthens compliance with regulations like GDPR, MaRisk, and DORA by ensuring consistent security controls.
Extend your standardized CyberArk Conjur secrets store from CI/CD pipelines to workload automation processes. This integration ensures a unified approach to secret management across the entire development and operations lifecycle, fostering collaboration and reducing operational silos in hybrid IT environments.
The integration allows ANOW! Automate to leverage your current CyberArk Conjur deployment without a costly rip-and-replace. It supports cross-vault references for advanced security practices, enabling phased modernization, protecting your investment in established secrets management infrastructure, and enhancing automation capabilities.
Use Cases
DEVOPS
Automate critical steps in CI/CD pipelines by securely retrieving application and database credentials from Conjur.
SECURITY
Provide secure, dynamic credentials for mainframe or distributed batch jobs without embedding them in scripts.
CLOUD OPERATIONS
Securely orchestrate and manage containerized applications in Kubernetes by leveraging Conjur for secrets.
COMPLIANCE
Generate comprehensive audit trails for all secret access within automated workflows, simplifying compliance.

If your organization runs hundreds of automated jobs across cloud, on-premises, and mainframe systems, you need more than a basic scheduler. You need an enterprise workflow automation platform that manages complex dependencies, enforces SLA compliance, and gives your operations team real-time visibility into every process. The tools in this list range from purpose-built workload automation platforms to ITSM-native engines and data pipeline orchestrators. Each is included for the unique value add each brings to the table.

ANOW! Automate supports 'User' authentication for CyberArk Conjur. This method requires a username and password to establish a secure connection and retrieve secrets.
ANOW! Automate's Secret Vault feature dynamically retrieves sensitive values from Conjur at runtime. Secrets are never persistently stored within ANOW! Automate, ensuring they reside solely in your Conjur instance.
Yes, ANOW! Automate inherits your existing CyberArk Conjur rotation, expiration, and access policies. This ensures consistent security controls and compliance without needing to reconfigure policies within ANOW! Automate.
Cross-vault references allow a secret required for one vault connection (e.g., a trust store password) to be retrieved from another Secret Vault instance. This capability enhances security by reducing the need to embed sensitive values directly in configuration.
The integration centralizes secret management in Conjur, providing a single point for audit trails related to secret access. ANOW! Automate's own logging also tracks vault actions, significantly simplifying audit preparation and demonstrating compliance with regulations such as GDPR and DORA.
ANOW! Automate integrates with AWS Secrets Manager to securely retrieve and manage sensitive credentials at runtime, ensuring sensitive data is never stored directly within the automation platform. This enables unified access to secrets across hybrid environments, leveraging AWS's robust rotation and access policies without duplicating credentials.
ANOW! Automate integrates with Azure Key Vault to securely manage application secrets, encryption keys, and certificates, allowing workflows to dynamically retrieve credentials at runtime. This ensures sensitive values remain under Azure's security governance, eliminating duplication and inheriting existing rotation policies for enhanced compliance and operational reliability.
The CyberArk Digital Vault integration with ANOW! Automate ensures privileged credentials remain securely stored in CyberArk and are precisely brokered at runtime for automation tasks. This prevents sensitive data from residing within the automation platform itself, enhancing security posture and leveraging existing security policies for rotation and access.
ANOW! Automate integrates with HashiCorp Vault to centralize secret management and retrieve sensitive values such as passwords, API keys, and certificates at runtime. This ensures secrets are never stored directly within ANOW! Automate, enhancing security posture by preventing sensitive data from residing in multiple locations.
