hcp vault New HCP Vault Secrets, Radar, and other features fight secrets sprawl

[Hashicorp]

Today at HashiConf, we are pleased to announce the alpha program for HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) Vault Radar, HCP Vault Secrets general availability, secrets sync beta for Vault Enterprise, and HashiCorp Vault 1.15. These new capabilities help organizations secure their applications and services as they leverage a cloud operating model to power their shift to the cloud. Enabling a cloud operating model helps organizations cut costs, reduce risks, and increase the speed at which developers build and deploy secure applications.

The new capabilities boost Vault’s focus on helping organizations use identity to achieve their security goals by:

• Centrally managing and enforcing access to secrets and systems based on trusted sources of application and user identity.
• Eliminating credential sprawl by identifying static secrets hardcoded throughout complex systems and tooling across your entire cloud estate.
• Reducing manual overhead and risk associated with managing access to infrastructure resources like SSH, VPNs, as well as applications and services.
• Automatically implementing authentication and authorization mechanisms to ensure only authorized services can communicate with one another.
