Case Study: Progress achieves secure hybrid multicloud secrets management with Akeyless

Why Progress Uses Akeyless to Support their Hybrid Multicloud Strategy

Progress Software Corporation (Progress), a global software company with 2,100+ employees across 16 countries, needed a central secrets management approach to support its hybrid multicloud strategy. With multiple divisions, acquisitions, and growing developer teams, Progress was dealing with disparate tools, secret sprawl, and the need for a solution that could be easily consumed without adding operational burden. It selected Akeyless, a purpose-built SaaS platform for secrets management.

Akeyless provided Progress with a centralized, highly available, multi-cloud secrets management platform with broad out-of-the-box integrations for AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and DevOps tools. The solution reduced the need to maintain infrastructure and patch software, and Progress reported saving 60%–70% of the overhead previously associated with maintaining Vault instances. Akeyless also gave Progress exclusive ownership of its keys through its DFC technology, improving security while enabling more productive workflows.
