Secrets management in privileged access management (PAM) focuses on securely storing, controlling, and rotating sensitive information such as administrative passwords, API keys, and certificates. It is a foundational aspect of protecting privileged accounts and minimizing the risk of credential theft or misuse.
In Devolutions PAM, secrets are stored securely in PAM vaults and can be configured for automatic rotation and expiration. By using just-in-time access, users can request temporary access to a secret without ever viewing the password. This ensures better accountability and reduces exposure of high-value credentials. Permissions and audit trails further enhance security and compliance.
Secrets can be used interactively—where users inject credentials into a remote session without seeing them—or through automation, such as scripting access for maintenance tasks. This flexibility helps organizations streamline operations while protecting critical assets.
