- Secure Access for Every Workload
Identity Security for Machines
Grant just-in-time, policy-based access for every user. Eliminate standing privileges and unify governance across all environments.
Trusted by Leading Enterprises, Investors, and Partners
Secure Machine Access Without Secrets
Reduce risk and simplify access by replacing standing privileges and shared credentials across every environment.
Stop Secrets Sprawl
Eliminate hardcoded credentials and long-lived keys that spread across code and infrastructure.
Reduce Credential Risk
Replace static secrets with short-lived access that limits what attackers can steal or reuse.
Take Control of Non-Human Access
Enforce consistent access and policy across all workloads, services, and environments.
Eliminate Blind Spots
See what exists, who owns it, and how it’s being used across your environment.
Traditional Security Wasn’t Built for Machines
Workloads rely on secrets scattered across code, pipelines, and environments. Vaults and rotation alone can’t manage the scale or complexity.
Secretless, Secure Machine Access
Authenticate workloads, broker access, and enforce policy in real time across every system they touch.
Authenticate Workloads Without Secrets
Akeyless uses native identity from cloud IAM, Kubernetes, and certificates to authenticate workloads. Access is issued just in time and expires automatically, eliminating embedded secrets and long-lived credentials.
Broker Just-in-Time Access to Targets
Workloads access databases, APIs, cloud services, and infrastructure through short-lived, policy-based credentials. No direct credential handling, storage, or reuse.
Secure and Automate Credential LIfecycle
For systems that still require secrets, Akeyless centralizes and automates rotation, revocation, and policy enforcement. Zero-knowledge Distributed Fragments Cryptography™ ensures secrets are never exposed, assembled, or accessible, even during use.
Enforce Unified Policy Across Environments
Apply consistent access controls across cloud, Kubernetes, CI/CD, SaaS, and on-prem systems. Govern machine access across native and third-party vaults from a single control plane.
How Akeyless Secures Machine Access
Secure non-human identities, secrets, and access across every environment through a single, zero-knowledge SaaS platform.
One Platform. Every Identity Secured. Everywhere.
The Akeyless Identity Security Platform unifies AI agent, machine, and human access under one zero-knowledge, cloud-native foundation.
With Akeyless, organizations eliminate secrets, automate credential lifecycles, and enforce Zero Trust at every level, from code to console.
“Akeyless is true SaaS that allows you to scale. It’s purpose-built to live in the cloud. We saved 70% of our maintenance and provisioning time with Akeyless.”
Richard Barretto
Chief Information Security Officer & Vice President, Progress
“With Akeyless, we now have a scalable secrets management platform that's enterprise class. The fact that we have a cloud-first enterprise solution gives me confidence that Akeyless will scale as our business does."

Answers to the Most Common Questions About Akeyless Identity Security for Machines
What is machine identity security?
Machine identity security is the practice of securing how non-human identities—such as applications, services, containers, and pipelines—authenticate and access systems. It replaces static credentials like API keys and passwords with identity-based, short-lived access to reduce risk and improve control.
What are machine identity solutions and how do they relate to non-human identity management?
Machine identity solutions provide tools to authenticate workloads, manage credentials, and enforce access policies. They are a core part of non-human identity management (NHI), which focuses on discovering, securing, and governing identities such as applications, services, APIs, and automation across environments.
What is machine identity and credential management?
Machine identity and credential management focuses on the lifecycle of credentials used by non-human identities, including API keys, certificates, tokens, and service accounts. It involves creating, rotating, revoking, and securing these credentials, and increasingly shifting from long-lived secrets to short-lived, identity-based access.
What are the risks of using static secrets for machine identities?
Static secrets like API keys and passwords are often hardcoded, shared, and rarely rotated, making them a common target for attackers. If compromised, they can be reused across systems, leading to unauthorized access and lateral movement. Machine identity security reduces this risk by replacing static secrets with short-lived, identity-based access.
How is machine identity security different from secrets management?
Secrets management focuses on storing and rotating credentials securely. Machine identity security expands this by controlling how identities authenticate and access systems, often reducing or eliminating the need for secrets entirely through identity-based and ephemeral access models.
How does Akeyless approach machine identity security?
Akeyless secures machine access using identity-based authentication, just-in-time access, centralized policy enforcement, and automated certificate lifecycle management. Its zero-knowledge architecture protects secrets and keys from exposure, while a unified SaaS platform governs access across cloud, SaaS, and on-prem environments.
Can machine identity security eliminate secrets completely?
In many cases, yes. Modern machine identity solutions can replace static credentials with short-lived, identity-based access. For systems that still require secrets, automated rotation and secure handling minimize exposure and risk.
