Best Secrets Management Tools - Page 2
Secrets management tools help companies securely store, transmit, and manage sensitive digital authentication credentials such as passwords, SSH keys, API keys, database passwords, certificates like TLS/SSL certificates or private certificates, tokens, encryption keys, privileged credentials, and other secrets.
Companies use these tools to manage their secrets across their IT ecosystem centrally. These tools reduce the risks associated with poor and manual secrets management, such as hardcoding secrets into scripts, using default passwords, sharing passwords, and not rotating credentials. Secrets management tools replace fragmented and manual secrets management and provide central visibility, oversight, and management of a company’s credentials, keys, and other secrets across departments. Most commonly, these tools are used by software developers, security professionals, and IT operations teams (DevOps or DevSecOps).
Secrets management tools are similar to but more robust than encryption key management software, which focuses on the storage, use, and rotation of encryption keys. Similarly, there is an overlap between secrets management and privileged access management (PAM) software. While security-focused PAM solutions offer secrets management, they also offer more robust security functions for enforcing least privilege policies with access controls, monitoring and recording privileged sessions, and alerting suspicious activity. Some secrets management solutions are built into platforms or cloud providers directly. In contrast, other solutions augment that functionality by offering a universal and centralized approach to secrets management, regardless of platform, using integrations.
