Product Usage Instructions
1. Centralize Secrets Management and Detection:
Implement end-to-end secrets management to protect applications,
identities, and data. Use a secret scanner like HCP Vault Radar to
monitor for unmanaged and leaked credentials. Establish a system of
record to reduce security complexity.
2. Adopt Identity-Based Access Controls:
Secure connections by integrating trusted identities into
workflows. Consider using HashiCorp Boundary, a privileged access
management solution, to enhance access controls.
3. Improve Compliance Posture:
Maintain governance and compliance across cloud environments.
Leverage infrastructure as code to standardize infrastructure. Use
policy as code to proactively test for compliant configurations and
provide developers with self-service modules for infrastructure
provisioning.
FAQ
Q: How can I enhance my cloud maturity?
A: To improve cloud maturity, focus on centralized secrets
management, identity-based access controls, and compliance posture.
Implementing these practices can help standardize operations and
reduce security risks.
Q: Why is regular credential rotation important?
A: Regularly rotating credentials can reduce the likelihood of
unauthorized access and help prevent security breaches. It is a
proactive measure to enhance security posture and mitigate risks
associated with credential exposure.
Q: How can I ensure my infrastructure is compliant?
A: Utilize policy as code to test for compliant infrastructure
configurations. Implement self-service modules for developers to
provision and manage infrastructure, which can aid in scaling
deployments across teams while maintaining compliance.

MITRE ATT&CK tactics observed in cloud environments that involve credential access
Regularly rotating credentials and scanning for exposed secrets can help you stay secure and respond faster when threats arise.
The problem? Only 8% of organizations see themselves as highly cloud mature.
These organizations are more likely to have standardized on platform teams, leading to better management of cloud
resources and reduced waste 3
3 risk management practices to stay ahead
