Keeping secrets is a critical but unsung component of cloud computing. Properly managing, monitoring, and auditing secrets in a single location is a fundamental requirement for managing modern infrastructure. But as organizations adopt distributed, multi-cloud infrastructures, they generate far more secrets (sensitive information such as passwords, tokens, database connection strings, cryptographic API keys, etc.) than ever before.

This white paper details the twelve essential capabilities of a modern secrets management solution and why a robust, platform-agnostic secrets management solution is vital to success in a multi-cloud world of distributed applications, services, and infrastructure.
