Value results
| Category | Value result |

| Productivity | Handoffs in secure delivery sit in a shared queue instead of a mailbox trail |
| Risk and compliance | Fewer stalled items because developer security has a clear owner |
| Risk and compliance | Vault is the governed place developers and AppSec use for secure delivery |
Story
Vale is based in Brazil and runs materials operations at a scale where developer security cannot live in side channels. Developers and AppSec were reconciling competing copies of the same work, which slowed secure delivery and hid who owned the next step.
The company runs secure delivery on HashiCorp, with Vault as the product developers and AppSec actually open. HashiCorp (an IBM company) provides infrastructure automation software, including Terraform and Vault, for cloud provisioning and secrets. For Vale, that means developers and AppSec can open one workflow, see developer security, and let neighboring teams join without inventing a parallel stack.
Public materials confirm the companies and products. They do not always publish a single verified KPI for this pairing, so the outcome here is operational: clearer ownership, fewer stalled handoffs, and a shared record for developer security.
