This is a great first step on building the right kind of infrastructure to stop applications from exposing secrets. Leases on secrets with dynamic policy enforcement is, IMHO, the future of application security. Happy to see companies like Hashicorp discussing more of the vision on how Vault can be used to secure applications that we depend on for infrastructure.
I would caveat, however, that encryption is just one part of the tool in the toolbox. A correct security posture is about having layers of defense. The next layer is absolutely the application and isolating secret management responsibility from the app layer to the infrastructure layer is the right strategy, IMO.
