Automate the Entire Identity Lifecycle
From provisioning to retirement—automate credential rotation, expiration management, and decommissioning. Maintain perfect identity hygiene without human intervention.
Provision
Create identities with least privilege from the start
Manual Credential Management Can't Scale
Stale accounts persist for months, secrets go unrotated, and deprovisioning is often forgotten when projects end. Every unmanaged identity is a risk waiting to happen.
Stale Accounts Persist
Unused service accounts linger for months, expanding attack surface unnecessarily.
Secrets Go Unrotated
Manual rotation is forgotten or delayed, leaving credentials exposed far too long.
Deprovisioning Neglected
When projects end or employees leave, their machine identities remain active.
No Ownership Reviews
Nobody validates if identities are still needed, creating orphaned account sprawl.
Policy-Driven Automation for Every Stage
Define lifecycle policies as code and let Astellent handle the tedious work. Maintain perfect hygiene across thousands of identities without human intervention.
Automated Provisioning
Create identities with proper roles and least privilege from day one. Integrate with ITSM and DevOps workflows.
Scheduled Rotation
Rotate secrets, keys, and certificates on configurable schedules. No manual intervention required.
Just-In-Time Access
Issue temporary credentials that automatically expire. Perfect for CI/CD pipelines and break-glass scenarios.
Safe Decommissioning
Retire unused identities with full dependency checking and audit trails. Never break production accidentally.
