HashiCorp Vault and Google Cloud: Managing security in a containerized world

The growing popularity of microservices, infrastructure automation, containers, and distributed infrastructure across private and public clouds has left organizations with a myriad of unbounded security vulnerabilities. Organizations are turning to HashiCorp Vault as their independent secrets management solution required by these modern architectures.

HashiCorp Vault secures and protects sensitive data as organizations deal with secret sprawl and the threat of data breaches, and now integrates natively with Kubernetes. Vault provides organizations with a consistent way to address three of the top cloud security challenges:

• Manage any secret and prevent secret sprawl
• Provide encryption as a service to address data security
• Deliver Privileged Access Management (PAM)

HashiCorp and Google Cloud Platform discuss how you can integrate Vault with GCP and the GCP-specific integrations available for Vault, along with live demos.
