Secure Your Machine Workflows & API Integrations
Govern machine-to-machine communication with ephemeral credentials, policy guardrails, and complete visibility. No more long-lived API keys or ungoverned integrations.
Machine Workflows Are Your Biggest Blind Spot
CI/CD pipelines, API integrations, and automated workflows use persistent credentials that no one rotates. They operate at machine speed with elevated privileges – and attackers know it.
Ungoverned M2M Communication
Machine-to-machine workflows operate with persistent credentials and no oversight.
Long-Lived API Keys
Static credentials that never rotate become prime targets for attackers.
No Visibility
Security teams can't see what automated processes are accessing which resources.
Shadow Integrations
Teams connect tools and services without formal security review.
What Machine Communication Processes We Secure
Astellent governs all automated interactions between systems – from CI/CD pipelines to data workflows to cloud automation.
CI/CD Pipelines
Build, test, and deployment automation that accesses code, secrets, and infrastructure.
Container & Orchestration
Service accounts for containers, pods, and orchestration platforms.
Cloud Automation
Infrastructure provisioning, scaling, and management workflows.
Data Pipelines
ETL processes, data sync, and analytics workflows accessing sensitive data.
Governed Access for Every Machine Workflow
Replace long-lived credentials with just-in-time access. Define what each workflow can do. See everything that happens.
MCP Discovery
Automatically discover all machine-to-machine connections, API integrations, and automated workflows across your environment.
Ephemeral Credentials
Replace long-lived API keys with short-lived tokens issued just-in-time for each workflow execution.
Policy Guardrails
Define what each workflow can access using policy-as-code. Enforce least privilege automatically.
Intent Verification
Validate what each workflow is trying to accomplish before granting access to sensitive resources.
Complete Audit Trail
Every MCP action logged with full context: what, when, why, and outcome. Meet compliance requirements.
Real-World MCP Scenarios
See how Astellent handles common machine workflow access patterns.
CI/CD Pipeline Deployment
Pipeline requests credentials to deploy to production. Astellent validates the pipeline identity, checks deployment approval status, and issues 5-minute scoped credentials.
Data Sync Job
Nightly ETL job needs database access. Astellent issues read-only credentials scoped to specific tables, valid only for the job duration.
Unauthorized API Access
Workflow attempts to access an API endpoint outside its approved scope. Astellent blocks the request and alerts security.
How MCP Security Works
A simple flow that secures every machine workflow.
Discover MCPs
Automatically find all machine workflows, API integrations, and service connections.
Define Policies
Specify what each workflow can access using policy-as-code.
Issue Credentials
Replace static keys with ephemeral, scoped credentials per execution.
Monitor & Audit
Track all MCP activity. Detect anomalies. Maintain compliance.
