Abstract

A cloud service access and information gateway receives, from a user device, a request to access a cloud service. The cloud service access and information gateway determines an identity of a user making the request to access the cloud service and compares the identity of the user to a password vault control policy. The cloud service access and information gateway determines, based on the comparing, one or more sections of a split password vault to which the user has access. The split password vault comprises a first section storing a first set of log-in credentials and a second section storing a second set of log-in credentials.
