CyberArk Workload Identity Manager Overview¶

If you need to issue lots of X.509 certificates fast to support your development environment, use CyberArk Workload Identity Manager (formerly known as Firefly).

CyberArk Workload Identity Manager (Workload Identity Manager for short) is a high performing, lightweight micro-service for issuing machine identities quickly and with no dependencies. Workload Identity Manager fits well within globally distributed application architectures, and provides high-speed/high-volume certificate issuance capacity with enterprise trust and policy enforcement.

Workload Identity Manager offers flexible centralized management through a control plane. Choose between the convenience of the SaaS-based Venafi Control Plane with Certificate Manager - SaaS, or the control of a self-hosted deployment with Certificate Manager - Self-Hosted.

If you're new, we recommend starting with either:

• Workload Identity Manager and Venafi Control Plane
• Workload Identity Manager and Certificate Manager - Self-Hosted
