Akeyless ranks #4 in Secrets Management & Vault AI search.

Akeyless is a cloud-native SaaS identity security platform specializing in secrets management, certificate lifecycle management, privileged access, and AI agent security. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Ramat Gan, Israel, the company pioneered a Vaultless® architecture that eliminates the need for dedicated vault infrastructure through its patented Distributed Fragments Cryptography (DFC), a FIPS 140-2 certified zero-knowledge approach in which even Akeyless cannot access customer encryption keys. The platform manages over 220 billion machine interactions and serves Fortune 100 enterprises across technology, finance, retail, and manufacturing verticals. Akeyless is increasingly positioned as a unified identity security platform for machines, AI agents, and humans, with recent expansions into agentic runtime governance and post-quantum cryptography. The company has raised approximately $80M in funding from investors including JVP, Team8, NGP Capital, and Deutsche Bank.
