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.
The integration with CyberArk Digital Vault provides a robust mechanism for ANOW! Automate to securely access privileged credentials. It enables ANOW! Automate to retrieve sensitive values, including passwords, SSH keys, API keys, and certificates, directly from CyberArk Digital Vault at the moment they are required during runtime. This process ensures that sensitive data is never stored internally within ANOW! Automate's systems, maintaining the security team's ownership of credentials within their existing "vault of record." The Secret Vault feature within ANOW! Automate manages this dynamic retrieval.
ANOW! Automate connects to the CyberArk Digital Vault via specified URL, HTTP version, Platform ID, and Safe Name parameters, utilizing 'User' authentication. For enhanced security, it supports mutual TLS (mTLS) configurations through comprehensive trust store settings, catering to hardened deployment scenarios. The integration is configured under 'Domain > Secret Vault' within ANOW! Automate, where connections can be tested and default vaults set. An optional 'Cache Vault' feature can be enabled for performance optimization, while robust role-based access control (RBAC) and comprehensive audit logs ensure traceability and compliance.
This integration is critical for large enterprises in regulated industries such as banking, insurance, and the public sector. It allows IT Operations teams to automate critical workflows involving mainframes, SAP, databases, and OS accounts, while security teams retain full control over privileged credential lifecycle management. It addresses the need for secure automation in complex, hybrid IT landscapes, ensuring compliance with stringent regulatory requirements without compromising operational efficiency.
The integration ensures that privileged credentials reside exclusively within CyberArk Digital Vault and are never stored in ANOW! Automate. This approach prevents the exposure of sensitive data within the automation platform, significantly strengthening your overall security posture.
Automation processes inherit CyberArk's robust audit trails, credential rotation, and access policies. This streamlines compliance efforts for regulations like GDPR, MaRisk, and DORA, reducing audit preparation time from weeks to hours.
Leverage your established CyberArk Digital Vault as the single source of truth for privileged access management. This integration extends your PAM policies to automation without requiring a costly rip-and-replace of existing security infrastructure.
By dynamically brokering credentials at runtime, ANOW! Automate eliminates manual credential management for automation tasks. This reduces operational overhead and minimizes the risk of human error, improving efficiency for IT operations.

Our solution enhances your existing security infrastructure by ensuring privileged credentials remain under CyberArk's control while enabling secure automation. This is not about replacing CyberArk, but extending its robust PAM capabilities into your automation workflows without duplicating security policies or introducing new risks.
This integration brokers credentials from your CyberArk Digital Vault, enabling you to meet your data sovereignty requirements. ANOW! Automate supports EU-based operations and local-language support, ensuring that credential management aligns with regulations such as GDPR.
The integration primarily supports 'User' authentication, which requires the 'User' and 'Password' parameters to connect to CyberArk Digital Vault. Additionally, it supports hardened deployment scenarios with mutual TLS (mTLS) via comprehensive trust store configurations to enhance security.
ANOW! Automate inherits the credential rotation, expiration, and access policies defined within your CyberArk Digital Vault. This means all lifecycle management for privileged credentials continues to be handled by CyberArk, ensuring consistency and compliance without needing to reconfigure policies in ANOW! Automate.
Yes, the integration incorporates robust role-based access control (RBAC) and comprehensive security and design audit logs. These logging capabilities ensure full traceability, allowing administrators to identify who configured which vault binding and when, maintaining an auditable trail of all security-related actions.
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 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.
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.
