The Problem We Solve for DevOps Teams

Modern engineering organizations face a growing crisis of secrets sprawl: hardcoded credentials in source code, unmanaged service accounts, secrets embedded in CI/CD pipelines, and machine identities that proliferate across containers and cloud environments with no governance.
