About
Akeyless is an Israeli-American cybersecurity company offering a vaultless secrets management platform, founded and headquartered in Tel Aviv with a strong U.S. commercial presence. The company addresses a core challenge in modern cloud and DevOps environments: securely managing and distributing sensitive credentials, API keys, certificates, and encryption keys across machines, applications, AI agents, and infrastructure — collectively known as machine identities. Traditional vault-based approaches require organizations to deploy and operate separate vault infrastructure, creating operational complexity and a single point of failure. Akeyless eliminates the vault entirely through its patented Distributed Fragment Encryption technology (DFC), which splits encryption keys between the customer and the platform so neither party alone can decrypt secrets.
