The secrets problem

Your secrets are scattered everywhere they shouldn't be

API keys in .env files, database passwords hardcoded in source, tokens pasted into chat, the same credential copied across five environments. Every copy is one more place it can leak, and once a secret reaches a public repo or a build log, rotating it becomes a fire drill. Most teams do not have a secrets problem because they are careless; they have one because secrets sprawl faster than anyone can track. Vault gives every secret one home, encrypted and audited, and catches the ones that escape into your code before they reach production.

What is secrets management?

One source of truth for every qpD^zd, across every environment

Secrets management is the practice of storing, distributing and rotating the credentials your applications need, such as API keys, database passwords, tokens and certificates, without ever hardcoding them or passing them around by hand. Instead of a secret living in a .env file on every laptop and in every pipeline, it lives once in an encrypted store and is delivered only to the apps, environments and people allowed to use it, with a full record of who touched what. Vault does that, and goes one step further: it watches your code for the secrets that slip through, so they never reach runtime in the first place.

What Vault does

Store, sync, rotate and detect, all in one place

Vault is secrets management built for developers, with a free tier up to 2,000 secrets. One encrypted store covers the whole lifecycle of a secret:

Secrets Management

Every secret, every environment, encrypted and versioned

Vault stores passwords, API keys, OAuth tokens and certificates in a single store, encrypted end to end so the value is never exposed in transit or at rest. Development, staging and production each get their own configuration, managed centrally instead of copied across laptops and pipelines. Role-based access control decides who can view or modify each secret, every version is recorded automatically for one-click rollback, and the developer-first editor is fast and forgiving, with safeguards so an accidental keystroke never breaks a config. For isolated or air-gapped setups, a local encrypted vault keeps secrets available with no internet connection and the same protection.

Cloud Sync

Sync one secret to every platform, automatically

A secret should live in one place and appear everywhere it is needed. Vault syncs your secrets to AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions and the rest of your stack, so updating a value once updates it everywhere, with no manual copying and no drift between environments. Rotate or change a secret and every connected destination receives the new value automatically.

Auto Rotation

Rotate credentials automatically, without breaking your apps

Stale credentials are a standing risk, and manual rotation is the kind of chore that gets skipped until an audit forces it. Vault rotates secrets on a schedule and pushes the new value straight into your applications through your CI/CD, so rotation happens without downtime and without a human editing config by hand. Meet your 90-day rotation policy without the fire drill.

Pre-runtime Detection

Catch secrets in your code before they reach production

The secrets that hurt you are the ones that escape the vault: a key hardcoded in a hurry, a token committed to a branch. Vault analyzes your code and repositories in real time and flags exposed secrets as they appear, so they are caught before they ship, not after they leak. This is what "secrets that never reach runtime" means in practice. It also connects with Code: the secrets Vault manages are the secrets the platform recognizes across your codebase, so detection and management point at the same source of truth.

vs standalone secrets managers

A secrets manager that lives inside your security platform

Most secrets managers are a standalone box: they store and sync secrets well, then hand the value to whatever asks for it. Vault does the storage and sync just as well, on a free tier, and then does what a standalone box cannot, because it is part of a runtime security platform: it catches the secrets that leak into your code, and it shares one account and one engine with the rest of your security stack.

Use cases

Built for teams drowning in secrets

ENGINEERING

Fast-moving dev teams

Dozens of env vars across services and environments, in one store, synced everywhere, free to start.

SECURITY

Multi-cloud and Kubernetes

One secret synced to AWS, Azure, GCP and K8s, with no per-cloud lock-in.

REGULATED

Regulated teams

Role-based access, a full audit trail, and automatic rotation to meet 90-day policies, with evidence ready for review.

Audiences

One platform, three jobs

Developers

Keep secrets out of your .env files and your code, with an editor that does not fight you.

Security

One encrypted store, role-based access, rotation and a full audit trail across every environment.

Leadership

Stop secret leaks before they become incidents, on a platform that also covers code, runtime and agents.

Platform

One engine. Apps, agents and the secrets behind them.

Vault is the secrets layer of the ByteHide platform. Code finds the issues in your code and connects to Vault, so a secret you manage is a secret the platform can recognize in your codebase. App Runtime protects the apps you ship, Agentic Runtime protects the AI agents your developers run, and Audit keeps the record. One account, one console, one engine.
