Centrally Manage Secrets to Reduce Secrets Sprawl
The Challenge
Secrets for applications and systems need to be centralized and static IP-based solutions don't scale in dynamic environments with frequently changing applications and machines.
The Solution
Vault centrally manages and enforces access to secrets and systems based on trusted sources of application and user identity.
Using Vault to Protect Adobe's Secrets and User Data Across Clouds and Datacenters
Securing secrets and application data is a complex task for globally distributed organizations. For Adobe, managing secrets for over 20 products across 100,000 hosts, four regions, and trillions of transactions annually requires a different approach altogether.
Secrets Management Features
Secret Storage
Encrypt and store data in the storage backend of your choice.
Dynamic Secrets
Dynamic secrets are ephemeral, programmatically generated when they are accessed and do not exist until they are read, reducing risk of someone stealing them or another client using the same secrets. Dynamic secrets can be revoked immediately after use, minimizing the life of the secret.
Namespaces
Provide secure multi-tenancy with isolated, self-managed environments.
Secure Plugins
Extend Vault with pluggable secret engines such as Consul, MySql, AWS, MongoDB, and more.
Detailed Audit Logs
Detailed audit logs provide detailed history of client interaction — authentication, token creation, secret access & revocation — which can be used to detect security breaches and attempted access to systems, and guide policy enforcement.
Lease and Revoke Secrets
Minimize the impact of secrets exposure by limiting how long credentials can live by creating time-based tokens for automatic or manual revocation and management.
