Secure application, machine, and AI agent identities and protect sensitive data
Manage access to secrets and stop credentials from falling into the wrong hands with identity-based security for humans, machines, and the AI agents now operating across your infrastructure.
Trusted by leading organizations
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 — across users, machines, services, and AI agents.
- Secrets
Centrally store, access, and distribute secrets programmatically — to humans, machines, and AI agents alike.
- Certificates
Generate, rotate, and revoke certificates on demand.
- Keys
Distribute, rotate, enable, and disable keys.
- Data protection
Protect 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
Block unauthorized users — and unauthorized agents — by authenticating access based on trusted identities. Fight secret sprawl by using short-lived, just-in-time credentials that expire automatically, whether issued to a developer, a CI/CD pipeline, or an AI agent at runtime.
Stop manually rotating secrets.
Vault lets you use code to enforce access policies and speed up audits for your team — including policies scoped to AI agents and agentic workflows. Use one API to automate secret creation, consumption, expiration, and rotation.
Scale secrets. Cut costs.
Lower costs by scaling access to secrets across large IT environments. Consolidate redundant secret storage applications by replacing them with Vault.
When we were looking for a solution, one of the things we really cared about was extensibility, and Vault really shines on this. It's really pluggable, with the ability to develop custom auth engines and secrets engines, which means the runway is unlimited.Anthony Ralston

The zero trust security framework will be really valuable for us when it’s fully implemented. It’ll allow us to verify and authorize every request made to our infrastructure, which can help to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches while delivering a high-performance, high-availability platform that underpins our customers’ businesses.Josh Scott

Along with policy-driven infrastructure through Terraform, Vault automatically rotates credentials instead of forcing users to store information locally and risk inadvertent exposure. Add in Boundary for standardizing language and protocols for accessing infrastructure and services across our environment, and it creates an end-to-end security posture in line with our zero trust charter.Benjamin Lara

Before Vault, I’d spend at least three or four full days per month manually managing and rotating keys, but now it takes less than five minutes. Vault has simultaneously lowered how much effort it takes to meet regulatory compliance goals and reduced our risk of both a breach and unplanned downtime. It’s been amazing.Jannik Nolte

Inspect, protect, and govern across all environments
Continuously protect credentials and other secrets, inspect the digital estate for unsecured secrets, and connect authorized humans, machines, and AI agents.
- Inspect sensitive elements
Inspect code repositories and collaboration tools to identify unsecured or unmanaged credentials — including secrets exposed in AI agent configurations, LLM prompts, or agentic workflow definitions.
- Protect secrets
Protect sensitive data with a system of record and manage the full lifecycle of secrets, certificates, passwords, and keys.
- Govern access
Govern access for humans, machines, AI agents, and services using trusted identities to authenticate and authorize every request, enforce least-privilege policies, and revoke access automatically when entities are decommissioned.
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, AI agents, and data.
