AKEYLESS Overview
Akeyless's Vault Platform is a unified secret management system that enables users to store, protect, rotate, and dynamically create credentials, certificates, and encryption keys. The company's platform supports several use cases, including managing static or dynamic credentials, certificate automation, encryption and digital signing, data protection, and zero-trust application access that secures remote access to internal resources. Workloads and human users interact with Akeyless using various channels, including the Akeyless Web Console, the Akeyless Remote Access Portal, CLI, API, SDKs, and an extensive range of plugins and integrations. A wide range of authentication methods are used together with role-based access control to ensure that clients are only granted access to specific secrets. Using a patented, FIPS 140-2-certified technology called Akeyless Distributed Fragments Cryptography, the Akeyless Vault Platform provides a highly secure SaaS solution with zero-knowledge capabilities so that even Akeyless cannot access users' encryption keys or decrypt their secrets.
