An In-Depth Look at the Akeyless Password Manager

The Akeyless Password Manager is a top-tier solution for securing corporate and employee passwords, providing a comprehensive and user-friendly platform tailored to the needs of enterprise security and productivity. It distinguishes itself with exceptional security features, extensive functionality, and competitive pricing, making it an essential tool for organizations looking to enhance their security infrastructure. 

Let’s explore the features and capabilities that position the Akeyless Password Manager as a top choice for businesses seeking password management solutions.

Robust Security with Akeyless DFC™ Technology

The LastPass breach in 2022 exposed vulnerabilities in password management systems, especially those relying on centralized encryption key storage susceptible to single-point attacks. 

This incident spotlights the urgent need for advanced encryption methods like those deployed by Akeyless. Our Distributed Fragments Cryptography™ (DFC) technology, validated by NIST FIPS 140-2, splits the encryption key into multiple fragments that are never combined during encryption and decryption and are constantly refreshed. This unique level of encryption security prevents the types of breaches that have threatened other password managers and protects your most sensitive data.

Akeyless employs a zero-knowledge encryption model, ensuring that only authorized users can access their passwords. A fragment of the encryption key is stored in the organization’s environment, so that encryption keys are known only to the user, and neither Akeyless nor any other entity can view or retrieve user data. This guarantees that even if a breach occurs, your passwords remain inaccessible to unauthorized parties, maintaining the highest level of security and privacy.

Comprehensive Functionality for Enterprises and Individuals

The Akeyless Password Manager includes features designed to streamline the management process and minimize potential security risks. It includes automated password generation of strong, random passwords that comply with your predefined security standards. The Akeyless Password Manager also auto-fills passwords for both websites and applications, streamlining employee workflows.

Granular RBAC and Secure Password Sharing

With granular Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Akeyless enables precise control over who can access specific passwords and resources. This ensures that only authorized individuals have access to the passwords essential for their roles, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access and enhancing overall security. By managing password permissions at a granular level, organizations can maintain tight security standards and protect sensitive data effectively.

Furthermore, Akeyless Password Manager includes unique third-party sharing capabilities, allowing organizations to grant time-limited access to external contractors securely. This ensures that access to critical systems and data can be securely extended outside the organization without long-term risk, reinforcing the platform’s utility in managing sensitive information securely and efficiently.

Extensive Integration Capabilities

Akeyless Password Manager seamlessly integrates with a wide array of DevOps tools and platforms, including CI/CD pipelines and configuration management systems, enabling automated password injection directly into development workflows. This ensures secure and efficient software deployment processes. 

Additionally, the platform supports major cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, providing flexible and scalable password management solutions ideal for modern cloud infrastructures. 

Akeyless compatibility extends to hybrid and multi-cloud environments, allowing effortless synchronization between various cloud services and on-premise systems. This comprehensive integration capability makes Akeyless Password Manager a versatile and indispensable tool for organizations aiming to enhance their password management and security protocols across diverse IT landscapes.
