Cyberattacks are a consistent threat to organizations, making it critical to secure DevOps pipelines to prevent compromised code, data breaches, and disruptions in software delivery. Whether it’s the CI/CD pipeline or a DevOps tool stack, securing DevOps environments is becoming a priority for businesses. Coupled with the need for regulatory compliance, digital certificates are crucial for preventing vulnerabilities and ensuring systems remain secure.
DevOps teams can't afford for security to slow down development. The solution? Fast, automated PKI processes that keep pace with modern DevOps environments.
Secure Your DevSecOps Enviroments the GlobalSign Way
Code Signing Certificates
Scalable public and private trust certificates that meet
regulatory requirements.
TLS certificates are essential for securing DevOps pipelines and web servers, ensuring that data transmitted between systems remains encrypted and protected. However, managing certificates manually in dynamic, fast-moving DevOps environments can lead to operational delays, missed renewals, and potential vulnerabilities. As systems scale, the challenge becomes ensuring certificates are issued, deployed, and renewed automatically without compromising security or speed.
To tackle these challenges, certificates are used in several key areas to ensure robust security across DevOps environments. These include:
Securing DevOps pipelines with TLS Certificates
Securing Software Supply Chains with Code Signing Certificates
Securing Kubernetes Workloads with Trusted Certificates
Securing Machine and Human Identities with TLS Certificates
Securing Web Servers with TLS Certificates
Securing Service Mesh Communications with TLS Certificates
Using Digital Identity Services to Overcome DevSecOps Challenges

Frequently Asked Questions
Do your APIs support authentication mechanisms like OAuth or API tokens for secure access?
Yes, our APIs support multiple authentication mechanisms, including OAuth and API tokens, to ensure secure access. This allows you to integrate our services seamlessly while maintaining high security standards.
How well does your system scale for managing a high volume of certificates?
Our system is designed to scale efficiently, managing high volumes of certificates with ease. Our Digital Identity Platform, Atlas provides a robust infrastructure and optimizes processes to ensure high performance and reliability, even in large deployments.
How do you handle certificate expiration alerts and notifications?
Through our Atlas platform we provide automated alerts and notifications for certificate expiration. Users can configure these alerts to receive timely reminders, ensuring that certificates are renewed before they expire.
How do you secure the private keys used to sign certificates?
We employ advanced security measures to protect private keys, including hardware security modules (HSMs) and encryption. Our processes comply with industry standards to ensure the highest level of security for your certificates.
Can you issue Code Signing Certificates, and do they integrate with common CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, and GitHub Actions?
Yes, our Code Signing Certificates integrate seamlessly with popular CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, and GitHub Actions. Our Code Signing Certificates are widely used to service a number of different use cases including signing Artifacts, Binaries, Jar files, Container Images, and SBOM’s.
What is the level of support you offer for DevOps teams?
We provide comprehensive support for DevOps teams, including 24/7 support and priority response times through our Premium Support Services option. Our dedicated Support Team and Support Website is available to assist with any issues or questions, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations.
