About This Workshop
Securing SSH key access is a critical part of safeguarding servers and preventing unauthorized logins. This workshop dives into Oracle Key Vault’s advanced SSH key management capabilities, demonstrating how to centralize SSH keys within a robust, policy-driven environment and minimize the risk of credential theft or misconfiguration. Learn to store, control, and rotate SSH key pairs directly in Key Vault—where private keys can be set to non-extractable, so even if a server is compromised, the keys remain protected.

During the 35-minute lab, explore hands-on tasks like registering remote servers as endpoints, uploading and distributing SSH keys through Key Vault, and revoking or rotating access with a few simple clicks.
