HashiCorp Boundary is a modern privileged access management solution for securing user access in dynamic cloud environments. It ensures authentication and authorization through trusted identity providers, enabling single sign-on and role-based permissions for users on virtual machines, Kubernetes, and databases. Emphasizing least privileged access mitigates breach risks with just-in-time credentials, enabling password-less access without exposing sensitive information.
The platform enhances productivity by automating onboarding processes for new infrastructure resources and streamlining developer workflows. It improves efficiency by minimizing the need for bastion hosts and VPNs, allowing organizations to scale dynamically across clouds and systems. Aligned with zero-trust security principles, HashiCorp Boundary authenticates users, authorizes access, automates service onboarding, and provides auditable records for compliance.
As part of HashiCorp's suite, complements tools like Vault for securing secrets and Consul for secure service connectivity. Integrated with trusted identity providers such as Okta and Azure Active Directory, Boundary serves as a comprehensive identity-based security toolkit, whether managed by HashiCorp or self-deployed, ensuring a robust solution for secure remote user access management in diverse IT environments.
