Description
Knox serves as a secret management platform designed for the secure storage and rotation of sensitive information such as secrets, keys, and passwords utilized by various services. Within Pinterest, a multitude of keys and secrets are employed for diverse functions, including signing cookies, encrypting sensitive data, securing the network through TLS, accessing AWS machines, and facilitating communication with third-party services, among others. The risk of these keys being compromised posed significant challenges, as the process of rotation typically required a deployment and often necessitated changes to the codebase. Previously, keys and secrets at Pinterest were stored in Git repositories, leading to their replication across the company's infrastructure and presence on numerous employee laptops, which made tracking access and auditing who had permission to use these keys virtually impossible. To address these issues, Knox was developed with the intention of simplifying the process for developers to securely access and utilize confidential secrets, keys, and credentials. It also ensures the confidentiality of these sensitive elements while providing robust mechanisms for key rotation in the event of a security breach, thereby enhancing overall security practices. By implementing Knox, Pinterest aims to streamline secret management processes while fortifying its defenses against potential vulnerabilities.
Description
Every app, build pipeline and AI agent that calls Stripe, OpenAI or any other third-party API needs that API key. So copies of live keys pile up in .env files, CI settings, laptops and agent environments, and each copy is one more place a key can leak from: a poisoned package, a prompt-injected agent, a compromised build or a config file pushed by mistake. A stolen key keeps working until someone notices, then has to be replaced everywhere it was copied.
KnoxCall keeps the real key in one place and adds it to each call on its way out. Your apps, pipelines and agents hold only a KnoxCall token. If a token leaks, one click revokes it everywhere, without rotating the provider key. Every call is logged with the name of the app or agent that made it.
Because every call already passes through KnoxCall, it's also the natural place to put guardrails on AI agents. Each agent can be given its own spending limit, every prompt is checked before it reaches the model, and the personal data KnoxCall detects is swapped out before the model sees it, then put back in the reply.
Security teams stay in control of the foundations. CI jobs can authenticate with workload identity instead of a stored secret, and on the Enterprise plan you can lock your keys with a master key held in your own cloud account and manage access through your existing single sign-on and SCIM provisioning.
KnoxCall fits the stack you already use, with SDKs for Node, Python, Go, PHP, Ruby, React and the browser. Start on the free plan with no card required, or move to a paid plan from $19 a month.
