Multi-Vault Governance

Welcome to Multivault Governance video. Ikilus MVG unifies secrets across all clouds and vaults. It delivers centralized control without migrations, reducing tool sprawl and complexity. With one governance layer, teams gain visibility, compliance, and efficiency across every environment. Why do enterprises implement multi vault governance? Enterprises today manage secrets scattered across clouds and platforms, creating silos and operational friction. They want to eliminate the need to migrate existing secrets or replace their current secret managers, avoiding costly disruptions. Organizations also need a way to use any authentication method to securely access all connected secret managers without complexity. Security and compliance teams aim to gain visibility across the organization and better facilitate compliance across multiple environments. Leaders look to reduce the overhead of manual management, freeing teams from time consuming administrative tasks. And ultimately, they need to eliminate the cost and complexity of managing multiple vaults, improving efficiency and governance at scale. Akeyless product capabilities that address the pains. Secrets discovery and governance. Akeyless allows you to centrally view, manage, and secrets in existing vaults, providing unified visibility across your organization. It delivers full lifecycle management of external secrets, from creation to rotation and revocation, without disrupting existing workflows. You can automate cross vault rotation, reducing manual intervention and strengthening overall security posture. The platform provides unified governance and visibility of external secrets, ensuring consistency and compliance across environments. It also helps aggregate and and simplify audit trails, giving compliance teams a single, consolidated view for faster audits. Finally, Akeyless leverages native plug ins to centralize management of existing vaults without migration, achieving governance without complexity or downtime. Multi vault governance use cases. Here are a few of the main use cases enterprises implement most often with multi vault governance. Organizations can automate sync and rotation in CICD, keeping pipelines secure and up to date without manual secret changes. They can simplify PCI DSS compliance by centralizing secrets and automating rotation, streamlining audits and reducing compliance effort. Enterprises also unify multi cloud secret governance, applying a single policy consistently across AWS, Azure, and GCP to eliminate policy drift. And finally, they can accelerate cloud migration by connecting on prem and cloud vaults seamlessly without moving or duplicating secrets. Together, these use cases show how multi vault governance delivers unified control, compliance efficiency, and agility across every environment. Why we do it better. Akeyless delivers unified governance across all vaults and environments, providing one control plane for every secret, everywhere. It integrates existing vaults without migration or disruption, preserving business continuity while centralizing oversight. Organizations can enforce consistent policies and zero trust access everywhere, ensuring compliance and least privilege control across teams. Centralized offer continuous compliance visibility, making it easy to track every secret, access, and change in one place. Automated rotations minimize manual work and reduce operational fatigue, improving both security and efficiency. The multi region architecture ensures resilience and uptime, meeting enterprise availability and compliance requirements. And finally, zero knowledge encryption guarantees full data sovereignty, ensuring that only the customer, never Akeyless, can access their secrets. Customer evidence. Our customer is a leading US healthcare and retail pharmacy organization, operating at massive scale with strict regulatory and security requirements. The problem? They faced fragmented secrets management and low adoption, which caused tools sprawl across the enterprise. Thousands of Azure Vaults complicated visibility, governance, and scale, making it difficult to maintain compliance and operational efficiency. This resulted in a high vault count, low adoption rate, and growing audit overhead. The solution. Akeyless delivered unified control across all vaults, no migrations required, reducing tool sprawl and overhead while enhancing compliance and governance. The outcome included unified multi cloud management, measurable operational cost reduction, and major management efficiency gains. Thank you for watching the Akeyless Multivault Governance video.

Vault sprawl and fragmented secrets management are driving risk, cost, and audit complexity across multi-cloud environments. This session shows how Akeyless Multi-Vault Governance centralizes visibility, policy, and rotation across existing vaults, without migration, delivering unified control, reduced overhead, and Zero-Knowledge security at scale.
