WHAT WE OFFER
Secure all the machine identities and nonhuman identities that matter, all the time.
Only Palo Alto Networks offers full protection for every type of machine identity, including secrets, certificates, workload identities and SSH keys.
Secrets management
Prevent breaches and secure digital infrastructure through simplified protection of all secrets and other machine identities for applications, DevOps pipelines and cloud workloads.
Extend enterprise-grade governance to AWS, Azure, and GCP secrets stores with unified policy, rotation, and visibility across every vault your developers already use.
Give every workload a unique, universal identity that replaces static secrets with short-lived, verifiable authentication across hybrid, multicloud and on-premises environments. Use identity where you can, secrets where you must.
Remove embedded secrets and static credentials with just-in-time secret retrieval for applications in the data center, the cloud, container platforms and everywhere in between.
Organizations across industries use Idira™ Machine Identity Security to discover, control and govern machine identities in any environment.

Frequently asked questions about Idira machine identity security
Machine identities (certificates, secrets, workload identities) outnumber human identities 109:1 and are growing fast as organizations adopt cloud-native architectures and AI agents. Each one is an authentication credential that attackers can exploit. Machine identity security gives organizations the ability to discover, control and govern every machine identity across the enterprise from a single platform.
Not every workload is ready for identity-based authentication today. Idira, by Palo Alto Networks. Idira lets teams use cryptographic workload identity where environments support it and keeps using secrets where they don't. Both are managed from the same Secrets Manager platform so security teams get unified governance without forcing migration. Identity where you can, secrets where you must.
You can't secure what you can't see. Idira's discovery capabilities automatically find machine identities across the enterprise, including secrets, AI agents and workloads, and then add risk-based context so teams can prioritize what to secure first. This is critical as environments scale and AI agents introduce new autonomous identities that operate outside traditional governance frameworks.
No migration is required. Secrets Hub connects to your existing cloud-native vaults (AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, Google Cloud, Secret Manager) and HashiCorp Vault through native APIs to deliver centralized discovery, unified visibility and consistent governance. Developers keep using the vaults and workflows they already have. Security gains a single control plane to enforce rotation, access and expiration policies across all of them. It bridges the gap between "managed" and "governed" without disrupting how teams work.
That's exactly what Idira Credential Providers are built for. They enable secure, high-performance secret retrieval for workloads and applications running in hybrid and on-premises environments without requiring code changes. The application doesn't need to know how to call a vault. The Credential Provider handles retrieval transparently so even legacy, packaged or monolithic applications get governed credentials with rotation and audit. It's the right tool for workloads that will never be rewritten but still need to stop using hardcoded passwords.
