Just like human identities, machine identities require credentials to communicate/interact with systems and secrets—like certificates, passwords, API, cryptographic keys, and tokens—to authenticate. These secrets need to be protected to secure privileged access to critical IT workloads.
In this regard, it is almost impossible to manage secrets effectively without a built-for-purpose solution. A Secrets Manager helps create, administer, and remove tokens, keys, and certificates as required to manage access to protected resources.
In this case study, our client’s DevOps team was building more than fifty highly critical applications. There were more than 500 privileged accounts which included containers, DevOps tools, VMs and cloud services. The admins wanted to automate the process as they had to manage and rotate many credentials manually. Moreover, there was a lack of visibility over which privileged account accessed what and when resulting in compliance challenges.
