Akeyless Secrets Management

Secrets management is the practice of securely storing, distributing, and rotating credentials, such as API keys, passwords, certificates, and tokens, that control access to systems, applications, and data. Secrets management is essential for reducing the attack surface and preventing breaches in dynamic, cloud-native, and hybrid environments.

A secrets management platform enforces least privilege, zero trust, and compliance through access control, just-in-time access, and detailed audit logs. That way, secrets are not vulnerable to hardcoding, sprawl, or overuse.

Akeyless manages a wide range of secrets, including static credentials (passwords, API keys, tokens), dynamic secrets (ephemeral DB or SSH credentials), and certificates. It supports both human and machine identities, enabling just-in-time access and automated expiration. Secrets can be stored, retrieved, and rotated programmatically on Akeyless, helping teams eliminate hardcoded secrets and reduce their attack surface across pipelines and infrastructure.

Its SaaS-based architecture lets you manage secrets across AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, on-prem data centers, and edge locations—without deploying or maintaining vault servers. With unified policy enforcement, audit logging, and integrations across environments, Akeyless ensures consistent security and governance of secrets wherever your workloads reside.

Yes. Akeyless is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified, demonstrating strong controls for data security, availability, and confidentiality. It also uses FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules to secure your secrets at rest and in transit. These certifications ensure the platform meets the security and compliance needs of regulated industries, including finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure.

Akeyless is designed for large-scale, security-critical environments. It offers robust access controls, dynamic and just-in-time secrets, zero-standing privileges (ZSP™), and deep integrations with identity providers and DevOps tools. Its patented DFC™ encryption ensures zero-knowledge security, while its SaaS-native architecture delivers high availability without the burden of infrastructure management. Akeyless’ role-based access control, detailed audit logs, and compliance-ready encryption also make it ideal for complex enterprise requirements.
