Why identity, encryption, and centralised control are becoming foundational in regulated environments

Across industries where data integrity, availability, and trust directly impact business outcomes—ranging from banking and financial services to pharma, digital natives, and large-scale online platforms—trust is no longer assumed. It must be provable.

As organisations modernise their technology stacks with hybrid and multi-cloud architectures, secrets, credentials, and encryption keys proliferate. Often unmanaged and decentralised, what once felt controllable quickly becomes fragmented and difficult to govern.

At the same time, expectations continue to rise.

Auditors expect control. Regulators expect traceability. And business leaders expect agility.

In this context, HashiCorp, in collaboration with The Mainstream, invites you to a focused webinar exploring how identity-based secrets management and encryption can help regulated and scale-driven enterprises reduce credential sprawl, simplify audits, and enable secure operations at scale.

In this session, we’ll explore:

• How compliance and audit expectations are evolving across regulated industries
• Why identity-driven secrets management is becoming foundational
• Risks introduced by static credentials and decentralised secrets
• How to design audit-ready systems without adding operational friction
• How HashiCorp Vault supports secrets management and encryption across hybrid and multi-cloud environments
