Introduction to Akeyless Multi-Vault Governance

Secrets are scattered across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, HashiCorp Vault, Kubernetes, and other vaults. Every team uses different tools, making it difficult to see where secrets live, enforce consistent policies, rotate credentials quickly, or pass security audits. Akeyless multi vault governance gives you one centralized control plane for every existing secrets manager. Without migrating secrets or replacing the tools your teams already use, you gain unified visibility, governance, and life cycle management across your entire environment. From the multi vault governance dashboard, you instantly see every connected vault across cloud and on prem environments in a single view. Adding another vault takes just a few clicks, allowing you to onboard new environments without disrupting existing workflows. To define security parameters, we create a universal secret credential. By selecting a specific gateway and target, you control exactly where and how credentials apply. Once created, we head back to the multi vault dashboard, where your new credential is automatically synchronized and visible across your connected environments. Now let's manage a secret. Instead of signing into multiple consoles, you can rotate credentials directly from Akeyless. Rotation policies stay consistent across every connected vault, reducing manual effort and helping teams respond faster to security events. Let's look at how rotation syncs in real time. We'll start by checking AWS secrets manager to view the current stored secret value. Next, we return to a keyless to trigger a manual rotation, instantly generating a new secure credential. Once successfully rotated, we'll check AWS again. After refreshing, we retrieve the secret to verify that the newly generated password is automatically updated and synchronized. Finally, we head back to a keyless to continue our workflow. Every action is automatically recorded in centralized audit logs, giving security and compliance teams a single place to verify access, rotations, and policy enforcement across the organization. The result is unified governance without migration, automated operations instead of manual administration, and complete visibility across every vault and every cloud. If you're ready to simplify secrets management while strengthening security and compliance, discover Akeyless Multi Vault Governance today.

The Hidden Cost of
Vault Sprawl

Most organizations don't have one vault. Cloud providers, Kubernetes platforms, enterprise vaults, and AI systems each introduce their own secret stores. Multiple vaults give teams flexibility, but unmanaged fragmentation creates real consequences. Secrets become harder to track, policies become inconsistent, and governance becomes more difficult, increasing both operational burden and security risk.

Built for the Multi-Vault Reality

Most organizations rely on multiple vaults across clouds, platforms, and teams. Akeyless brings them together under a unified operational and governance model.

How It Works

Explore key features of Akeyless Multi-Vault Governance

One Platform. Every Identity Secured. Everywhere.

Secrets, machine identities, certificates, privileged access, and AI agents all require consistent control across modern environments. Managing them separately creates gaps in security, policy, and visibility.

Akeyless unifies Privileged Access, Secrets Management, KMS, Certificate Lifecycle Management, and AI agent security into a single SaaS platform with one policy engine and centralized governance across every identity.

It connects to existing vaults such as HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, Google Secret Manager, Kubernetes Secrets, and other secret stores without requiring migration.

Why do organizations need multi-vault governance?

Most organizations use multiple vaults across clouds, teams, platforms, and applications. Without multi-vault governance, secrets become harder to track, policies drift, access controls vary, and compliance becomes more difficult to maintain.

Does Akeyless require secret migration?

No. Akeyless connects to existing vaults so teams can govern and manage secrets where they already live. Organizations can centralize control without replacing their current vault investments or disrupting existing workflows.

Which vaults does Akeyless Multi-Vault Governance support?

Akeyless supports governance across common enterprise and cloud-native vaults, including HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, Google Secret Manager, Kubernetes Secrets, and additional external secret stores.

What can teams do with Akeyless Multi-Vault Governance?

Teams can view, create, update, delete, rotate, and govern secrets across supported vaults through the Akeyless console, CLI, and SDKs. This gives developers and security teams one consistent workflow for managing secrets across environments.

How does Akeyless improve security across multiple vaults?

Akeyless applies centralized authentication, access controls, and governance policies across connected vaults. This helps reduce secret silos, enforce consistent policy, and limit security risk without forcing every team onto a single vault.
