What This Session Is About

As secrets sprawl and plaintext or long-lived credentials present growing security risks – particularly with the rise of agentic AI workloads – organizations are turning to OpenBao for sustainable, sovereign secrets management. Originally forked from HashiCorp Vault, the open source project is hosted by the Linux Foundation and fully developed in the open.

Adfinis is deeply committed to the OpenBao project through core contributions, community advocacy, and open source leadership. Reflecting this strategic commitment, Adfinis serves as co-maintainer and Chair of the Technical Steering Committee (TSC), bringing a decade of hands-on secrets management expertise to the ecosystem.

This engineering-focused webinar will provide an overview of OpenBao’s latest developments and where the project is heading. Take a look at some of the latest enterprise capabilities and get a glimpse of what’s next. Join us and share your thoughts, needs, and use cases to shape the open secrets management of tomorrow.
