Hubble: Our Tool for Encapsulating and Extending Security Tools - Shopify

What this post added

This post introduces Hubble, an internal tool developed by Shopify's Trust team to address the challenges of managing and securing a large, distributed fleet of devices. Hubble encapsulates and extends common security tools, providing a unified interface for IT staff and end-users. For IT, it offers a single pane of glass for inventory, device management, and security, ingesting and standardizing data from various systems and centralizing access auditing. For end-users, it provides device health and compliance information with actionable remediation steps. The tool aims to reduce manual toil, mitigate shadow IT risks, and foster a culture of ownership and proactivity. The post also discusses two key lessons learned: the importance of encapsulation leading to partnerships and the value of fighting for investment in such internal tools.
