Infisical

Infisical is an open-source secrets manager used by engineering teams to store, sync, and govern application secrets, certificates, and privileged access across environments. This launch introduces Access Controls v2, a rework of how permissions are granted inside a project. Instead of authoring custom roles for every one-off request, admins can now scope access directly to a specific folder or environment in a few clicks, which the team says covers the majority of real-world access patterns they observed among existing users. The update ships five default access levels, so most decisions collapse down to whether a person or machine identity should read or write secrets in a given folder. Because permissions attach to the folder or environment itself, they persist when that resource is renamed or moved, which removes a common source of drift in larger projects. Custom roles remain available for teams with more complex authorization needs, but folder-level access is meant to let individual teams manage their own scope without waiting on a project admin. The launch is posted by co-founder and CEO Vlad Matsiiako. Infisical raised a $16M Series A led by Elad Gil, with participation from Y Combinator, Gradient Ventures, and Dynamic Fund , and the company is a YC W23 alum, so this release lands as the platform continues to push deeper into identity and auth tooling for both human developers and the growing surface of machine and agent identities calling secrets APIs.
