How TeraSky centralized credential and encryption key management across critical financial systems
The Decision
Managing credentials, certificates, and encryption keys across applications and automation workflows had become increasingly complex for a leading organization operating critical financial transaction infrastructure in Israel.
As a leading provider of transaction processing and financial information services, the organization must maintain strict security controls across its systems. To reduce risk and strengthen governance, the organization set out to implement a centralized secrets management approach across its environment.
Like many organizations running complex application environments, they needed a more reliable way to manage the growing number of credentials, certificates, and encryption keys used across their systems. Secrets were distributed across applications and automation workflows, making it difficult to enforce consistent security policies and to manage their lifecycle.
To address this challenge, the company set out to implement a centralized secrets management approach that would reduce risk while improving visibility and control.
The Architecture
The new architecture focused on introducing a single trusted system for storing and managing secrets across applications, CI/CD processes, and operational environments. The solution needed to support secure credential access, automated certificate lifecycle management, and encryption key governance.
Equally important, the platform had to integrate smoothly with existing systems and development workflows without disrupting production operations.
The Platform
TeraSky implemented a centralized secrets management platform using Vault Enterprise.
“The system we designed allows applications and automation pipelines to securely request credentials and encryption keys when needed, rather than storing them in code or configuration files,” explained TeraSky’s SA Architect Security Specialist, David Gidony. “It also provides centralized lifecycle management for certificates and encryption keys, ensuring sensitive assets are rotated, managed, and audited through a single platform.”
TeraSky integrated the solution into the existing environment with minimal operational impact, allowing the organization to strengthen its security posture while maintaining continuity across its production systems.

The Impact
With a centralized secrets management platform in place, the client significantly reduced the risks associated with unmanaged credentials across its environment. Sensitive access information is no longer embedded in application code or operational workflows, and security teams now have a consistent framework for managing and auditing secrets across systems.
As the company’s security leadership highlighted, “TeraSky helped us move from fragmented credential management to a centralized and controlled approach. Their guidance allowed us to strengthen our security posture while building a platform that will support our security and compliance needs going forward.”
