Boundary by HashiCorp uses identity-driven controls to secure user access across dynamic environments. It authenticates and authorizes users using trusted identity providers for single sign-on access and role-based authorization. Boundary connects to dynamic infrastructure like virtual machines, Kubernetes, and databases, providing users with least privileged access to networks, permissions, and credentials. It improves security posture using trusted identities and just-in-time credentials, injecting credentials into sessions for password-less access without exposing secrets. Boundary reduces time spent on manual workflows and managing access to systems, automates onboarding of new or changed infrastructure resources, and reduces or eliminates bastion hosts and VPNs. It supports dynamic access management across clouds, users, and systems, and maintains auditable records of all activities to enhance compliance. Boundary integrates with identity providers like Okta, Ping, and Azure Active Directory for authentication and uses dynamic host catalogs to automatically discover and maintain an updated inventory of resources and services. It simplifies secure user access management and can be managed in the cloud or deployed in a self-managed environment.
