Infisical

Infisical is an open-source security platform for centrally managing application secrets and configuration, internal and external PKI certificates, and privileged access workflows. It helps teams reduce credential sprawl by securely delivering, rotating, and auditing sensitive values across environments and infrastructure.

Key Features

• Secrets management across projects and environments with web UI, CLI, SDKs, and API
• Dynamic secrets and scheduled secret rotation for supported backends
• Secret syncs and delivery options for CI/CD, cloud platforms, and Kubernetes workloads
• Secret scanning and leak prevention tooling to catch exposed credentials
• Built-in PKI with private CA hierarchy, certificate issuance, renewal, and revocation
• ACME-based certificate enrollment and certificate lifecycle governance policies
• SSH certificate issuance for short-lived, centralized infrastructure access
• Key Management System (KMS) for encrypt/decrypt workflows and key governance
• Role-based access controls, approvals, temporary access, and audit logs

Use Cases

• Centralize and distribute application secrets to developers, CI pipelines, and runtime environments
• Run an internal CA and manage X.509 certificates for services, devices, and apps
• Replace long-lived infrastructure credentials with short-lived SSH certificates and dynamic secrets

Limitations and Considerations

• Some premium/enterprise functionality is separated into an enterprise directory and may require a commercial license

Infisical is well-suited for organizations that need a modern developer experience for secrets and PKI while maintaining strong governance through access controls and auditing. It can serve as a unified layer for managing credentials and certificates across diverse stacks and deployment environments.
