Case Study: ABN AMRO Bank N.V. achieves faster, more secure secrets management with HashiCorp Vault

A Leading Financial Institution Uses Hashicorp Vault To Automate Secrets Management And Deliver Huge Gains For Its Growing Product Portfolio

ABN AMRO Bank N.V., the third-largest bank in the Netherlands, needed a better way to manage ephemeral secrets and keys across its expanding multi-cloud and containerized environment. Its legacy secrets management approach required manual work, custom connectors, and extra modules, making application onboarding slow and increasing the risk of secrets sprawl and downstream security issues. To address this, ABN AMRO turned to HashiCorp and its Vault product.

Using HashiCorp Vault, ABN AMRO created a centralized, cloud-agnostic secrets management system that automates secrets injection, dynamic secrets, and API encryption across AWS, Azure, and internal applications. The bank says Vault helped it onboard two dozen new platforms, eliminate costly ephemeral secrets modules, and establish a foundation for encryption as a service, while significantly reducing the time and effort required to bring applications onto its container platform.
