Vault
HashiCorp's secret management: dynamic credentials, leases and encryption as a service. Set the pattern for the category.
Made short-lived credentials a realistic thing to run.
What it is sold for
Issuing and rotating secrets across an infrastructure.
The address redirects to https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault, which is worth knowing before you follow it.
Named alongside
These entries mention each other by name. It is a weak relationship and it is the only one the catalogue can show without inventing something.
Named by:
- A local-first knowledge graph and retrieval store for agent memory, built on a published pattern.
Same shelf
The rest of security and secrets, alphabetically. Sharing a category is a filing decision, not a relationship.
- Fine-grained authorization as a service, so permission checks stop being scattered if-statements.
- Hosted identity: login, federation, multi-factor and the standards work nobody wants to implement twice.
- Amazon's managed identity for consumer applications, priced and scaled for very large user pools.
- Static analysis for security and privacy risk, focused on where sensitive data flows. Acquired by Cycode.
- The open-source scanner behind Bearer. Finds and ranks security and privacy risk in source, and still runs on its own.
- Open-source SAML and OIDC single sign-on, so enterprise login is not a rewrite. The address now serves Ory.
- Enterprise application security, combining several scan types and consolidating findings into one risk view.
- Authentication with the interface components included, built for React and Next.js first.
