Rotate Secrets Everywhere.
Break Nothing.
Guaranteed.

External Secrets is the original and proven credential transport layer for Non-Human Identity (NHI) secrets – including API keys, certificates, and tokens.

Our unique credentials management technology ensures that every credential gets where it’s needed, stays in sync, and is rotated on demand or on schedule – all with ZERO breakage or downtime.

Why You Need a
Credential Transport Layer

You know it’s essential to rotate non-human identity (NHI) credentials – including API keys, certificates, and tokens.
But until now this has been a difficult, time-consuming, expensive and risky manual process, leading to NHIs being a factor in 84% of data breaches today.
The unique innovation External Secrets brings to your infrastructure is the provision of a credentials transport layer for your NHI secrets, API keys, tokens, and certificates.
Integrate with Leading Secret Stores
You already have a Vault to store your passwords and credentials. We work hand-in-glove with every leading Vault on the market. (We don’t store credentials.)
Get Credentials Where They Need to Be
Our transport layer distributes those credentials to every client (and server) that needs them – Kubernetes, VM’s, CI/CD scripts, SaaS applications, databases, AI MCPs, and more. If it accepts or uses a secret, we’ll take care of it!
Keep It All In Sync
External Secrets stays aware of any changes to make sure the clients, server, and vault stay fully synchronized on the latest, most secure set of credentials. And we do it while making sure nothing ever breaks – a unique, game-changing innovation.
Why choose External Secrets?

The Problem:
Credentials Sprawl

Without a proper Credentials Transport Layer, it can be difficult to impossible to ensure credentials are rotated everywhere.
It often involves manual coordination across multiple teams. And when one team doesn’t update its credentials (or is using credentials without IAM knowing), critical business processes can fail.
Thus NHI credentials are often not rotated frequently, leading to security risk and compliance problems.
Trigger. Generate. Rotate.

The Solution:Credentials Transport Layer

External Secrets' trusted solution maps out where all NHI credentials in your environment are stored and used (on both clients and servers).
This empowers you to trigger a complete, reliable rotation of any and all desired credentials based on:
A change in a linked Vault
Time-based (every 30 days/even every hour!)
An event-trigger from a security system
Manually
Once triggered, all keys are rotated – and we ensure nothing breaks.
