The Akeyless platform is designed for complete lifecycle management of the full range of Non-Human Identities, including:
-
Secrets Management for NHIs: Centrally manage and secure sensitive credentials, certificates, and API tokens used by non-human identities such as applications, microservices, and automated workflows. Enable dynamic secrets and Just-in-Time access to eliminate risks of standing privileges and enhance security for machine-to-machine communications.
-
Certificate Lifecycle Automation: Streamline the provisioning, renewal, and revocation of digital certificates critical to authenticating NHIs. Integrate with your PKI systems to ensure continuous, automated trust across hybrid and multicloud environments.
-
Encryption & Key Management for Machine Workloads: Protect cryptographic keys utilized by non-human entities using Akeyless’s patented Distributed Fragments Cryptography™ (DFC). Ensure Zero-Knowledge encryption for sensitive data and support scalable machine identity management in hybrid environments.
-
Secure Remote Access for Automated Systems: Facilitate secure, policy-driven access without static credentials or VPN dependencies. Leverage robust authentication mechanisms such as certificates, SAML, and OIDC to manage access seamlessly across machines and services.
-
High Availability for All Operations: Ensure uninterrupted service and low-latency access for machine identities with 99.99% uptime SLA, multi-region redundancy, and failover mechanisms. Minimize operational disruptions for workflows and infrastructure.
-
Integration with DevOps Pipelines: Enhance DevOps automation by integrating with CI/CD tools, Kubernetes, and orchestration platforms. Akeyless simplifies the management of non-human identities across complex workflows with extensive SDKs, plugins, and APIs.
-
Zero-Knowledge Security for Machine Identities: Guarantee end-to-end encryption and ensure that neither Akeyless nor third parties can access sensitive data, thanks to patented DFC™ technology. Protect the lifecycle of NHIs with FIPS 140-2 Level 3 compliant hardware security modules and advanced encryption practices.
