HCP Boundary is a fully-managed, cloud-based workflow that enables secure connections to remote hosts and critical systems across cloud and on-premise environments. As a managed service, HCP Boundary enables zero-trust networking without needing to manage the underlying infrastructure. HCP Boundary automates remote access workflows with granular authorisation based on trusted identities without SSH keys, VPNs, or complex privileged access management controls to manage. HashiCorp Boundary provides an easy way to securely access critical systems with fine-grained authorisations based on trusted identities. Boundary on the HashiCorp Cloud Platform provides a fully managed, single workflow to securely connect to hosts and critical systems across Kubernetes clusters, cloud service catalogs, and on-premises infrastructure.

Issues it solves

• Reduce risk of a breach and simplify administration with Boundary’s identity-based secure access management to ensure that users have access to applications and systems they need without exposing your network
• Secure remote access beyond traditional network perimeters. Automated workflows discover targets, and proxy access, and broker credentials to infrastructure wherever it resides
• Compliance without the overhead. Ensures access control, visibility, and session control capabilities regardless of user's or operator's infrastructure

Benefits

• Boundary is an identity-aware proxy, so users can authenticate into Boundary to access critical target systems without needing to expose credentials or the network
• Rapid start-up: customers can be running HCP Boundary on day 1 and leave hosting, software updates, resiliency, and on-call support to HashiCorp
• High scalability: automate and scale secure remote access by defining access controls around logical services instead of IP-based access policies
• Best-in-class developer experience: standardised access workflows, streamlined user experience, automated target discovery, and integration with HCP Vault
• Integrate with your IDP, including Azure AD, Okta, and many others that support OIDC

Recommended for

• IT security, identity, infrastructure, or DevOps practitioners and operators
