Taming Application Secrets
Learn how Vault is helping Banca Popolare journey through the long-standing challenge of dealing with secrets in application architectures.
Each database in your organization requires credentials for access. These passwords are used by applications, services, and users.
Safeguarding credentials — and mitigating the risk from leaked credentials — is a complex problem. But it’s an important one: leaked credentials can leave your organization open to costly breaches and a loss of trust.
HashiCorp Vault can help you to overcome this problem by easily allowing you to create, rotate, and revoke database credentials through an automated workflow and API.
HashiCorp Vault enables organizations to automatically rotate passwords for existing database users, applications, and services. Easily integrate existing applications with Vault, and improve secrets management.
Reduce risk of breaches and credential leakage to ensure security of your networks, infrastructure, and data.
Eliminate manual systems through automated processes to ensure information is secure and credentials only exist as long as necessary, limiting the window for a breach.
Increase visibility into credential systems through detailed audit trails and logs to ensure and evaluate security posture.
Vault was the solution for our business problem...Kubernetes that needed to connect to external services with credentials.
The Vault database secrets engine generates credentials dynamically based on configured roles. It is able to work with any combination of different databases leveraging a plugin interface, robust built-in database types, and frameworks that enable the running of custom database types. Services that need access no longer need to hardcode credentials: they can request them from Vault and use Vault's leasing mechanism to easily roll keys, creating dynamic secrets.
Applications “ask” Vault for database credentials rather than setting them as environment variables. Administrators specify the time-to-live (TTL) for database credentials so that they are automatically revoked when no longer used.
Vault's database secrets engine provides a centralized workflow to automatically manage credentials for various database systems. Every service instance gets a unique set of credentials that live only for the life of that service. This also means that abnormal access patterns can be pinpointed to a specific service instance and its credential can be revoked immediately.
