Mitigate cloud risk with Security Lifecycle Management

What's this blog post about?

Organizations adopting cloud infrastructure and applications face increased security risks, necessitating a new approach to Security Lifecycle Management (SLM). SLM involves managing sensitive data from creation to expiration using zero-trust, identity-based access architecture. To protect their environments, organizations need a central system of record for secrets, employing secrets rotation and dynamic secrets to mitigate risks associated with long-lived credentials. Proper inspection of environments is crucial to identify unsecured sensitive data, while enforcing least-privilege access based on trusted identities across the organization is a critical best practice. HashiCorp offers a portfolio of products managed on HCP that help with different aspects of security strategy, including Vault for brokering trusted identities and automating access to secrets, Boundary for modern privileged access management, and Consul for identity-based service networking. By leveraging these offerings, organizations can trust that their most sensitive data is protected throughout the lifecycle.
