How is it different from just storing credentials in Vault, and when should we use ?
Key Management in AutomationEdge is used to protect sensitive data that is stored inside the AutomationEdge application. AutomationEdge uses an encryption key to secure confidential information such as workflow parameters, credentials, agent details, report data sources, and SMTP settings. When you rotate the key, the system changes the encryption key and re-encrypts the sensitive data with the new key, adding an extra layer of security.
A secure vault is an encrypted storage system where important credentials such as usernames, passwords, and API keys are safely stored. All information added to the vault is encrypted before it reaches the server, ensuring a high level of security. Even the vault service provider cannot directly access the stored data, making it protected from unauthorized access.
