Summary

Gremlin emphasizes the importance of security, integrating it into their core philosophy alongside Chaos Engineering practices, by conducting rigorous external audits and penetration tests with Bishop Fox to ensure their systems' robustness. The audits highlighted vulnerabilities that were promptly addressed, and the Gremlin agent was further hardened by implementing additional security measures, such as locking down binaries and enforcing least privileges. Gremlin has introduced multi-factor authentication for enhanced account security and offers SAML single sign-on for deeper integration with existing identity management systems, enabling tighter authentication control for organizations. Additionally, Gremlin's platform encourages proactive risk identification and mitigation through features like automated reliability tests and scoring, helping organizations maintain high reliability standards.
