A bit about Vault

Things you need to know about Vault before using any Vault Consulting company

What is Vault?

Vault by Hashicorp is a tool for securely storing and accessing sensitive information, such as secrets and keys. It provides a secure and centralized way to manage secrets, such as passwords, API keys, and certificates, allowing users to access and use them in a controlled and auditable way. Vault also provides advanced features for encrypting and protecting secrets, including encryption at rest, dynamic secrets, and secure introduction.

What is Secrets Management?

Secrets management is the practice of securely storing, managing, and using sensitive information, such as passwords, API keys, and certificates. This is important because sensitive information is often required for accessing critical systems and services, and if it is not properly protected, it can be vulnerable to being stolen or misused.

Why use Secrets Management?

There are several reasons why secrets management is crucial:

  • Secrets management provides secure and auditable storage for sensitive information, reducing risk of misuse and unauthorized access
  • Secrets management helps with compliance regulations
  • It makes it convenient for users to access sensitive information
  • It is scalable and flexible to accommodate growing organizations

Why use Vault?

  • Security: Vault provides a number of advanced security features, such as encryption at rest and dynamic secrets, to help protect sensitive information. It also provides secure introduction capabilities, allowing users to securely access and use secrets without exposing them in plaintext.
  • Scalability: Vault is designed to be highly scalable, allowing organizations to store and manage large amounts of sensitive information. It also supports multiple backends, such as storage systems and databases, allowing organizations to choose the solution that best fits their needs.
  • Ease of use: Vault has a user-friendly interface and a simple API, making it easy for users to securely store and access sensitive information. It also integrates with a variety of tools and systems, allowing organizations to easily incorporate secrets management into their existing workflow.
  • Integration: Vault integrates with a number of other Hashicorp tools, such as Consul and Terraform, allowing organizations to easily manage and secure their infrastructure. It also integrates with a variety of third-party tools and services, making it easy to incorporate into an organization's existing systems.
