HashiCorp Vault - Manage Secrets & Protect Sensitive Data

The shift to managing secrets and protecting data in dynamic infrastructure

Static Infrastructure

Datacenters with inherently high-trust networks with clear network perimeters.

Traditional Approach

High trust networks
A clear network perimeter
Security enforced by IP Address

Dynamic Infrastructure

Multiple clouds and private datacenters without a clear network perimeter.

Vault Approach

Low-trust networks in public clouds
Unknown network perimeter across clouds
Security enforced by Identity

Vault's Use Cases

Secrets Management
Centrally store, access, and distribute dynamic secrets such as tokens, passwords, certificates, and encryption keys.

Data Encryption
Keep application data secure with centralized key management and simple APIs for data encryption.

» How Vault Works

Vault tightly controls access to secrets and encryption keys by authenticating against trusted sources of identity such as Active Directory, LDAP, Kubernetes, CloudFoundry, and cloud platforms. Vault enables fine grained authorization of which users and applications are permitted access to secrets and keys.

Vault Principles

API Driven

Enable automation and CI/CD use cases while enabling policy to codify, protect, and govern access to secrets.

$ curl \
    --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
    --request POST \
    --data @payload.json \
https://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/secret/config

Secure with any Identity

Leverage any trusted identity provider, such as cloud IAM platforms, Kubernetes, Active Directory, to authenticate into Vault. Identity is scale independent, unlike IP addresses, which require complex firewall rules and frequent updates.

Extend and Integrate

Request secrets for any system through one consistent, audited, and secured workflow. Vault supports public clouds and private datacenters, and a broad range of endpoint systems including databases, cloud platforms, messaging queues, SSH, and more.
