Mergers & Acquisitions Without the Chaos

Unify identities, secrets, and access without breaking production.

Integrate environments faster and more securely during M&A. Get visibility into what’s actually used, reduce duplicate and orphaned credentials, and apply consistent identity-based access and controls across both organizations with minimal disruption.

The Challenge

M&A creates instant identity and secrets chaos.
When two companies merge, you inherit:

  1. Multiple vaults and secret managers
  2. Duplicated service accounts, API keys, tokens, and certificates
  3. Inconsistent policies, ownership models, and access patterns
  4. Unknown dependencies across apps, pipelines, automation, and AI agents

The Solution

Scan First, Then Combine With Confidence

Hush starts by scanning the acquired environment to build a comprehensive, real-time view of all existing secrets and non-human identities. By combining static discovery with runtime telemetry, we identify what exists, what is actually used, and where the highest risks and dependencies are, before any consolidation begins.

Unified Inventory and Risk Prioritization

Because Hush correlates discovery with runtime usage, teams can quickly understand:

  1. Where each secret or NHI is used across services, workloads, and environments
  2. What depends on it right now across both organizations
  3. Whether it’s active, dormant, duplicated, orphaned, or risky
  4. Which credentials create the highest blast radius in the merged environment

Consolidate Without Breaking Production

With complete coverage and live validation, M&A integration becomes faster and safer:

  1. Consolidate vaults and secret managers with confidence
  2. Reduce scope by skipping dead secrets and orphaned identities
  3. Identify duplicate credentials and eliminate unnecessary access paths
  4. Prevent outages by validating dependencies before changes go live

The Value

Secure Integration Accelerate secure integration across apps, infrastructure, and machine identities
Usage-Based Risk Reduce risk by identifying high-impact secrets and NHIs based on real usage
Outage Prevention Avoid production outages and broken workflows during consolidation
Attack Surface Reduction Shrink attack surface by removing duplicates, orphans, and excessive privilege
Fast Time to Value Achieve fast time to value with minimal integrations
