Secure Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Automations 

Secure infrastructure without slowing it down.  DevOps and CloudOps teams rely on fast-moving automation to scale infrastructure, but with speed comes risk. From Terraform to Jenkins, automation workflows often operate with persistent, over-privileged credentials that were never designed for continuous, cloud-native environments. Britive brings just-in-time access and ephemeral secrets to your entire automation toolchain without breaking your pipelines. 

The Challenge: Automation often runs with too much power for too long 

Modern teams use Infrastructure as Code (IaC), CI/CD, and orchestration tools to provision and manage infrastructure. But those same workflows frequently depend on long-lived access tokens, hardcoded secrets, or over-permissioned service accounts. These create hidden risks that traditional PAM tools can't govern effectively. 

  • IaC tools like Terraform often run with persistent admin roles or shared secrets. 
  • CI/CD platforms (e.g. Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI) rely on static credentials and environment variables. 
  • Secrets are scattered, stored in config files, repos, pipelines, and developer laptops. 
  • Privilege escalation and access drift are difficult to detect, especially across multi-cloud environments. 
  • Most PAM tools don’t integrate directly into DevOps workflows or IaC pipelines, leaving automation unmanaged. 
  • Replacing credentials or rotating access disrupts automation or requires complex workarounds. 

The Solution:

Policy-based, programmatic access for every automation 

Britive secures infrastructure at the speed of code. Through API-first design, ephemeral permissions, and deep DevOps integrations, Britive eliminates hardcoded secrets, enforces Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP), and brings visibility and governance to even your most ephemeral workloads. 

[ 001 ]

Just-in-Time Access and Ephemeral Permissions 

Inject JIT permissions into IaC runs, CI/CD jobs, and automation scripts. No standing credentials, no friction. Replace long-lived secrets with API-generated, time-bound credentials that auto-expire. 

[ 002 ]

Simple, Integrated Access Management 

Integrate access control directly into Terraform, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and more. 

[ 003 ]

Unified Identity Management 

Manage non-human identities (NHIs) like bots, service accounts, and agents with the same granularity as human users.

Maintain Auditability and Compliance 

Ensure compliance without slowing down development or infrastructure provisioning. Automate access reviews and gain visibility into who—or what—accessed your cloud resources.
