Jenkins

Jenkins by default allows environment variables to be set within the execution of jobs. It also allows safe storage of values that can be used within these same pipelines without exposure, however the administrator's challenge is ensuring that these same variables are automatically rotated without creating any issues on the DevOps pipeline.

Through Jenkins' native architecture, senhasegura DSM enables environment variables to be set at pipeline runtime through our Jenkins plugin.

In addition, to ensure better governance for administrators, all variables that are available in the Job environment will be sent to senhasegura DSM as a way to discover any sensible data running unnoticed.
