CipherTrust Secrets Management
Meudon, France
What it is
CipherTrust Secrets Management, powered by Akeyless Vault, protects and automates access to secrets used by DevOps tools and cloud workloads. It centrally manages secrets, credentials, certificates, API keys, and tokens, including automated creation, storage, rotation, and removal. Listed use cases include credential rotation, secrets sharing, just-in-time secret generation and management, and logs of secret use for auditing and compliance. Thales says the product works across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, multiple tenants, on-premises systems, and legacy systems. Named integrations include GitHub, Kubernetes, and OpenShift, with more available. CSM supports CI/CD injection, dynamic secrets, secret rotation, audit logs, and Kubernetes integration. It is available as self-hosted and web software, with a cloud deployment model listed. CipherTrust Manager users can open it from a dashboard tile with the same credentials, but CSM requires a separate license. A free 90-day trial is offered; other pricing is available on request.
