Case Study: Leading Software Company strengthens secrets security and cuts operational overhead with HashiCorp Vault

Leading Software Company - Customer Case Study

Leading Software Company, a global creator of widely used creative, media, and digital experience software, needed a better way to manage secrets and protect user data across clouds and datacenters. As its portfolio grew to more than 60 products and 150,000 hosts, the company faced secret sprawl, inconsistent access controls, and limited auditing across teams and environments.

Using HashiCorp Vault, the company centralized secrets management and application data encryption across AWS, Azure, and private datacenters. HashiCorp Vault now supports 14 Enterprise clusters and over 800 million monthly transactions, reducing secret distribution time from more than 4 minutes to under one second across 10,000 hosts, saving 100+ employee hours annually through automated rotation, and eliminating the need to maintain 30,000+ secrets in custom systems.
