Secure dynamic infrastructure across clouds and environments
The shift from static, on-premise infrastructure to dynamic, multi-provider infrastructure changes the approach to security. Security in static infrastructure relies on dedicated servers, static IP addresses, and a clear network perimeter. Security in dynamic infrastructure is defined by ephemeral applications and servers, trusted sources of user and application identity, and software-based encryption.
Static Infrastructure
Datacenters with inherently high-trust networks with clear network perimeters.
Traditional Approach
- High trust networks
- A clear network perimeter
- Security enforced by IP Address
Dynamic Infrastructure
Multiple clouds and private datacenters without a clear network perimeter.
Vault Approach
- Low-trust networks in public clouds
- Unknown network perimeter across clouds
- Security enforced by Identity
Secrets Management
Centrally store, access, and deploy secrets across applications, systems, and infrastructure
Data Encryption
Keep secrets and application data secure with one centralized workflow to encrypt data in flight and at rest
Identity-based Access
Authenticate and access different clouds, systems, and endpoints using trusted identities
Vault Principles
API-driven
Use policy to codify, protect, and automate access to secrets.
Identity Plugins
Seamlessly integrate any trusted identity provider.
Extend and integrate
Securely manage secrets and access through a centralized workflow.
Open Source and Enterprise
Vault Open Source addresses the technical complexity of managing secrets by leveraging trusted identities across distributed infrastructure and clouds. Vault Enterprise addresses the organizational complexity of large user bases and compliance requirements with collaboration and governance features.
