HashiCorp Boundary Enterprise

Overview of HashiCorp Boundary Enterprise (Simple and secure remote access)

Access any system from anywhere based on user identity. Boundary provides access to applications and critical systems with fine-grained authorizations without managing credentials or exposing your network. It allows organizations to provide secure access to their infrastructure and applications for employees, contractors, and other users. Boundary aims to improve security by enforcing least-privilege access and reducing the attack surface.

Features of HashiCorp Boundary Enterprise

• Secure Access Management: Boundary helps organizations manage secure access to their resources by creating dynamic per-session identities and access control policies. It allows users to access resources only for the duration of their session and with the permissions required for their specific tasks.
• Least-Privilege Access: Boundary enforces the principle of least privilege, meaning users only have access to the specific resources and actions they need to perform their tasks, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
• Dynamic Access: Users authenticate themselves to Boundary, which then generates short-lived tokens that grant access to specific resources. This dynamic approach helps prevent long-lived credentials that could be compromised.
• Multi-Environment Support: Boundary is designed to work across various environments, including cloud, on-premises, and hybrid setups.
• Audit and Logging: Boundary provides logging and auditing capabilities to track who accessed what resources and when, helping with compliance and security monitoring.
• Integration: It can integrate with various identity providers (IdPs) and existing authentication systems to manage user access efficiently.
• TLS and Encryption: Boundary uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption to secure communication between components and users.
