This update gives every Jenkins job a real identity and automated short-lived access so teams can retire static secrets without changing how their pipelines run.
OAuth 2.1 eliminates implicit flow, mandates PKCE, and requires exact redirect matching.
Eliminate pipeline secrets, secure dependencies, and implement workload identity federation in 3 weeks.
JWT and OAuth work together for robust authorization, especially in machine-to-machine communication.
Securing MCP servers requires rethinking the entire communication stack, not just adding TLS and calling it done.
Choosing the right flow is only the beginning. The real challenge is implementing either flow without creating persistent credential vulnerabilities that undermine your security.
Instead of just trusting the token’s signature, attestation-based identity adds an extra layer of security.
OAuth 2.0 and OIDC solve fundamentally different problems.
The dynamic nature of MCP makes a lack of visibility dangerous, as attackers can exploit complex workflows and ephemeral infrastructure to hide malicious activity.
Aembit’s AWS Secrets Manager integration makes it easier to protect AI and workload access today – and evolve toward short-lived, policy-driven authentication.
