Port secrets

Port provides a secure way to store sensitive data, such as tokens, passwords, and other secrets used in different Port components.

Port secrets can be used in:

• Port-hosted integrations - any integration that is installed using the "Hosted by Port" method, for example: Datadog.
• Self-service actions payload.
• Automations payload.

Usage

To create a new secret:

1. In your Port application, click on the ... button in the top right corner, and select Credentials.

2. In the Credentials window, choose the Secrets tab.

3. Click on the + Secret button.

   

One-time view

After creating a secret, you will be able to view its value only once.
Afterwards, you will be able to delete the secret or edit its value, but not to view it.

Security

• Port secrets reside in Port's infrastructure (hosted on AWS), per organization, meaning that no other organization has any access to your secrets.
• Secrets are AES-256 encrypted at rest, and are only decrypted when needed.
• Secrets are encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2.
