Enterprise Secrets Management
Enterprise-ready secrets management provides automatic processes for creating, storing, rotating, and removing secrets. As organizations adopt AI and Agentic AI workflows, where multiple autonomous agents authenticate, retrieve data, and trigger actions, the need for consistent, scalable control becomes critical.
- Centralized management for all secret types
- Easy to use for DevSecOps
- SaaS (Software as a Service) scalability for hybrid and multi-cloud environments
DevOps Tools Integrations
CipherTrust Secrets Management powered by Akeyless easily integrates with other third party applications such as:
- GitHub
- Kubernetes
- OpenShift
- And many more
Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM)
What it is:
Centralizes the entire certificate lifecycle, including discovery, issuance, renewal, rotation, revocation, and expiration monitoring
Business Value:
- Prevents outages caused by expired certificates
- Automates manual certificate management tasks
- Improves compliance and audit readiness
- Strengthens machine identity security
Password Management
What it is:
Centralizes the storage, management, and automated rotation of privileged passwords and application credentials
Business Value:
- Eliminates hard-coded credentials
- Automates password rotation
- Reduces credential-related risk
- Supports Zero Trust initiatives
- Improves operational efficiency for IT and DevSecOps teams
Multi-Vault Governance
What it is:
Provides centralized visibility and governance across multiple secrets vaults without requiring organizations to consolidate into a single vault
Business Value:
- Provides enterprise-wide visibility across all vaults
- Applies consistent security policies across environments
- Preserves existing vault investments
- Simplifies compliance, auditing, and reporting
- Reduces operational complexity in hybrid and multi-cloud environments

CipherTrust Secrets Management Frequently Asked Questions
Secrets management and privileged access management solve different security challenges. Secrets management secures machine identities such as API keys, certificates, tokens, SSH keys, and application credentials used by applications, containers, Kubernetes clusters, CI/CD pipelines, and AI workloads. PAM focuses on securing privileged human accounts, administrative credentials, and privileged sessions. CipherTrust Secrets Management complements PAM by automating the storage, rotation, and delivery of machine secrets while helping organizations reduce credential exposure across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Automated secret rotation reduces the risk of compromised credentials by regularly replacing passwords, API keys, database credentials, certificates, and access tokens without manual intervention. CipherTrust Secrets Management automates credential rotation and supports dynamic, just-in-time secrets to reduce the attack surface, improve compliance, and help organizations enforce zero trust security practices across cloud and on-premises environments.
Yes. CipherTrust Secrets Management helps secure the credentials, API keys, certificates, and tokens used by AI applications, large language models (LLMs), agentic AI workflows, and machine learning pipelines. By centrally managing and automatically rotating secrets, organizations can reduce the risk of credential exposure while enabling secure access to AI services across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Secrets management helps organizations strengthen security controls required by many regulatory and industry frameworks, including PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST Cybersecurity Framework guidance. CipherTrust Secrets Management provides centralized secret storage, automated rotation, access controls, and audit logging to help simplify compliance reporting and reduce security risks.
Zero Trust security requires continuous verification for every user, application, and machine identity. CipherTrust Secrets Management supports Zero Trust by ensuring applications receive only the secrets they need, when they need them. Dynamic secrets, automated rotation, centralized policy management, and detailed audit logging help reduce standing privileges and minimize the risk of credential theft across cloud, hybrid, and DevOps environments.
