Story
Utilities work at Uniper spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in Germany. Developer security was splitting across regional habits. Developers and AppSec asked for a shared way to run secure delivery without freezing local judgment.
HashiCorp (Vault) is what they standardized on. HashiCorp (an IBM company) provides infrastructure automation software, including Terraform and Vault, for cloud provisioning and secrets. Uniper 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.
