Secure credentials for secrets, certificates, keys, and more

Vault provides organizations with identity-based security to automatically authenticate and authorize access to secrets and other sensitive data.

  • SecretsCentrally store, access, and distribute secrets programmatically.
  • CertificatesGenerate, rotate, and revoke certificates on demand.
  • KeysDistribute, rotate, enable, and disable keys.
  • Data protectionProtect data in transit and at rest with encryption as a service.

Do cloud right with end-to-end secrets management

  • Avoid becoming the next data breach headline. Block unauthorized users by authenticating access based on trusted identities. Fight secret sprawl by using short-lived, just-in-time credentials that expire automatically.

  • Stop manually rotating secrets. Vault lets you use code to enforce access policies and speed up audits for your team. Use one API to automate secret creation, consumption, expiration, and rotation.

  • Lower costs by scaling access to secrets across large IT environments. Consolidate redundant secret storage applications by replacing them with Vault.

Protect, inspect, and connect across all environments

Continuously protect credentials and other secrets, inspect the digital estate for unsecured secrets, and connect authorized machines.

  • Protect secretsProtect sensitive data with a system of record and manage the full lifecycle of secrets, certificates, passwords, and keys.
  • Inspect sensitive elementsInspect code repositories and collaboration tools to identify unsecured or unmanaged credentials.
  • Connect machines, people, and networksConnect machines, people, and networks using trusted identities to authenticate and authorize every request.
Security Lifecycle Management

Take control of your security estate

Trust no one. Instead, use identity-based controls to protect, inspect, connect, and manage the lifecycle of your secrets, users, machines, services, and data.​​​​‌‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‌‍​‌‍‌‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍‌​‍​‍​‍​​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‍​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‌‍‌​‍‌​​​‍‍‌‍​‌‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍‍‌‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‌‍​‌‍‌‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌‌​​‍‌‍​‍​‍​‌‌‍‍‌‌​‍​‌‌‌‍‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‍​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌‍‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‍‌​​‌‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌‌​‍‌‌‌‌​‍‌‌‍‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‍‌​‌‍‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‌​‍​‌‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌‌​‌‍​‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌​​‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‍​‍​‍‌‌
