Large scale data breaches remain one of the biggest areas of concern for the UK public sector and rightly so. According to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), this sector alone has received 54% of all fines for data breaches since 2010, equalling a value of £7.5 million and potentially billions of pounds in lost intellectual property. So how do you avoid staying off the front pages whilst ensuring your data is kept secure?

HashiCorp Vault has a unique role in responding to these security trends. Vault secures, stores, and tightly controls access to secrets across distributed application infrastructure, and in doings so, allows users of various security expertise to craft strong defenses against real-world cybercriminal adversaries.
