It uses a role-based access control model to enforce the principle of least privilege. HashiCorp Vault is an API-driven infrastructure that securely controls, protects, and secures access to passwords, certificates, tokens, encryption keys for secrets, and other user-sensitive data. It uses a dynamic infrastructure that has multiple clouds and private data centers without a clear network perimeter. Vault is API driven, which enables automation and CI/CD use cases while allowing the policy to protect, codify, and govern access to secrets. The value-added features of this infrastructure are low trust networks in public clouds, unknown network perimeter across clouds, and security enforced by identity. It tightly controls access to encryption keys and secrets by authenticating against trusted sources of identity, such as Active Directory, CloudFoundry, LDAP, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms. Users can leverage any trusted identity provider, such as cloud IAM platforms, Active Directory, Kubernetes, or authenticate
