It’s great that you’ve moved to microservices, but how are you distributing secrets? This talk offers an overview of Vault’s unique approach to secret management by providing secrets as a service for services (and humans), that is highly scalable and easily customizable to fit any environment.

This talk has two primary goals:

Identify the new security challenges associated with using cloud technologies and microservices Showcase how the free and open source tool, Vault, can help reduce those security challenges Topics include:

• Discussion of traditional security (perimeter security, firewalls, etc)
• Identifying new challenges and solutions in cloud and microservices security
• Describe Vault’s architecture and how it provides “secrets as a service”
• Storing static secrets such as WiFi credentials
• Generating dynamic secrets, such as database passwords or cloud credentials
• Providing encryption as a service
