Why manual secret rotation fails

🚨 Long-lived secrets are sitting ducks. Static credentials give attackers unlimited time to find and exploit them.

Manual rotation is error-prone. Teams forget schedules, miss dependencies, and cause outages during updates.

📊 Compliance requires proof. Auditors need rotation schedules, success logs, and access tracking.

🔄 Rollback complexity. When rotations fail, reverting to working credentials becomes a critical path issue.

Manual rotation problems

❌ Manual Process: Forgotten rotations, service outages, human errors
⚠️ Static Secrets: Years-old API keys, hardcoded credentials, expired certificates
✅ VibeGuard: Automated schedules, zero-downtime updates, full audit trails

Result: 85% reduction in credential-related incidents

Automated secret rotation workflow

Policy-driven rotation with staged rollout and automatic rollback capabilities

1

Policy Setup

Define rotation schedules, credential types, and rollback policies per service and environment.

2

Generate New Secret

Create new credentials using provider APIs, maintaining complexity requirements and avoiding reuse.

3

Staged Deployment

Deploy new secrets to services using blue-green or canary strategies with health checks.

4

Verify & Cleanup

Verify service health, revoke old credentials, and log the successful rotation event.

Supported secret types

Comprehensive rotation support for all critical credential types

🔑

API Keys & Tokens

External service credentials

OAuth tokens and refresh tokens
Service API keys (Stripe, Twilio, etc)
JWT signing keys
Cloud provider access keys
Typical Schedule
Every 30-90 days
🗄️

Database Credentials

Connection credentials

PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB
Redis, Elasticsearch credentials
Cloud database connections
Connection pool credentials
Typical Schedule
Every 7-30 days
📜

Certificates & Keys

PKI and TLS certificates

TLS certificates (Let's Encrypt)
Client certificates
Code signing certificates
SSH keys and certificates
Typical Schedule
Every 90-365 days

Deployment strategies

Multiple deployment patterns for zero-downtime secret rotation

Blue-Green Secret Rotation

Phase 1: Dual Credential Setup
• Generate new credentials alongside existing ones
• Configure services to accept both old and new
• Validate new credentials work correctly
Phase 2: Switch Traffic
• Switch services to use new credentials
• Monitor service health and error rates
• Keep old credentials active for rollback
Phase 3: Cleanup
• Verify service stability for monitoring period
• Revoke old credentials from all systems
• Update secret management systems

Canary Secret Deployment

Stage 1: Limited Rollout (10%)
• Deploy new secrets to 10% of service instances
• Monitor error rates and performance metrics
• Compare against baseline service health
Stage 2: Expand Rollout (50%)
• Increase to 50% of instances if healthy
• Continue monitoring key metrics
• Automatic rollback if issues detected
Stage 3: Complete Migration (100%)
• Deploy to all remaining instances
• Final monitoring and validation period
• Cleanup old credentials after success
