Description
Strengthen your data security and compliance through the use of Key Vault. Effective key management is crucial for safeguarding cloud data. Implement Azure Key Vault to encrypt keys and manage small secrets such as passwords that utilize keys stored in hardware security modules (HSMs). For enhanced security, you have the option to either import or generate keys within HSMs, while Microsoft ensures that your keys are processed in FIPS validated HSMs, adhering to standards like FIPS 140-2 Level 2 for vaults and FIPS 140-2 Level 3 for HSM pools. Importantly, with Key Vault, Microsoft does not have access to or extract your keys. Additionally, you can monitor and audit your key usage through Azure logging, allowing you to channel logs into Azure HDInsight or integrate with your security information and event management (SIEM) solution for deeper analysis and improved threat detection capabilities. This comprehensive approach not only enhances security but also ensures that your data remains compliant with industry standards.
Description
Knox serves as a secret management platform designed for the secure storage and rotation of sensitive information such as secrets, keys, and passwords utilized by various services. Within Pinterest, a multitude of keys and secrets are employed for diverse functions, including signing cookies, encrypting sensitive data, securing the network through TLS, accessing AWS machines, and facilitating communication with third-party services, among others. The risk of these keys being compromised posed significant challenges, as the process of rotation typically required a deployment and often necessitated changes to the codebase. Previously, keys and secrets at Pinterest were stored in Git repositories, leading to their replication across the company's infrastructure and presence on numerous employee laptops, which made tracking access and auditing who had permission to use these keys virtually impossible. To address these issues, Knox was developed with the intention of simplifying the process for developers to securely access and utilize confidential secrets, keys, and credentials. It also ensures the confidentiality of these sensitive elements while providing robust mechanisms for key rotation in the event of a security breach, thereby enhancing overall security practices. By implementing Knox, Pinterest aims to streamline secret management processes while fortifying its defenses against potential vulnerabilities.
