Make the secure path, the easy path
Simplify, secure, and scale user access and create consistent experiences across all environments.
Too many entry points, not enough control
The key to a zero trust approach? Users should only have access to the infrastructure they’re authorized for, with encrypted sessions that are authenticated using short-lived credentials. But traditional methods using VPNs and bastion hosts give too much access and often rely on static secrets that can be leaked or stolen. Add hybrid or multi-cloud environments to the mix, and managing these access points becomes too complex.
User access that’s secure by default
Boundary simplifies how admins secure infrastructure access, so users connect only to authorized systems. Credentials are centrally managed and can even be injected directly into SSH sessions — no passwords to remember, share, or accidentally leak. With HashiCorp Vault, you can also auto-generate dynamic, short-lived credentials.
And because Boundary runs anywhere, admins can centrally secure access and manage credentials across all clouds and on-premises environments from one platform.
Simplify and automate management
With Boundary, admins get fine-grained access policies and automated credential management. End users get easy, secure connections. Everyone wins.
- Reduce riskEnsure each end user connection is authorized and every session is authenticated with short-lived credentials.
- Move fasterAutomate credential management so users can connect instantly.
- Cut costsSpend less time and effort managing infrastructure access.
