Click the button next to the environment menu (upper-right corner of the project) and selectVault Secrets.
In thevalueinput box, configure the metadata for the secret stored in the external vault (e.g., engine, path, key). The required metadata varies depending on the vault provider.
Secure Storage of Secrets: Vaults provide a secure way to store sensitive information such as API keys, passwords, certificates, and tokens, ensuring that they are protected against unauthorized access.
Access Control: Vaults allow organizations to define strict access control policies, ensuring that only authorized users or services can access particular secrets.
Encryption: Vaults often provide built-in encryption to protect data both at rest and in transit, adding an extra layer of security.
Auditing and Monitoring: Vaults offer auditing and monitoring capabilities to keep track of who accessed which secret and when. This helps in compliance and in detecting any unauthorized access attempts.
Integration with Other Services: Vaults are designed to integrate seamlessly with other cloud services (including Apidog) and DevOps tools, making it easy to manage secrets in a variety of environments.
Centralized Management: Vaults provide a centralized way to manage secrets across different applications, services, and environments, simplifying the overhead associated with secret management.
Risk Reduction: By reducing the chance of credentials being hardcoded into applications or leaking into source code, vaults help mitigate the risk of credential exposure.
