Zabbix plays a crucial role in monitoring all kinds of “things” – IoT devices, domains, cloud infrastructures and more. It can also be integrated with third-party solutions – for example, with Oxidized for configuration backup monitoring. Given the nature of Zabbix, it usually contains a lot of confidential information as well as (more importantly) some kind of elevated access to network elements while being used by operators, engineers, and customers. This requires that Zabbix as a product should be as secure as possible.
