Story
Consumer Discretionary work at Academy Sports spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Developer security was splitting across regional habits. Developers and AppSec asked for a shared way to run secure delivery without freezing local judgment.
HashiCorp (Consul) is what they standardized on. HashiCorp (an IBM company) provides infrastructure automation software, including Terraform and Vault, for cloud provisioning and secrets. Academy Sports uses it as the system of record for developer security, with developers and AppSec as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
