Better Together: JWT and Vault in Modern Apps

Learn why and how you would want to integrate JWTs into your Vault workflow for better application security.

JWT (JSON Web token) is one of the most popular ways of managing access within modern applications. It is simple to use, scalable, and easy to manage. HashiCorp Vault is perfect to securely store and manage the lifecycle of secrets like JWTs.
