From my work experience (such as software development and daily work with all kind of servers) I know that the most of companies (not only me) are constantly facing the following problems: 1. How to give access to an employee or a freelancer to the server and monitor their work? 2. How to provide one-time server access to outsourced developers so that they can perform the work and never use this access again? 3. How to restrict access to the server by time or by place? 4. How to be sure that any person having access to the server will not harm or install unnecessary software on it? 5. How to prevent storing server access in tasks, emails or tables that are not the safest storage place? 6. How quickly and safely give access to all employees if it has been changed? 7. How to protect the server resources from hacker attacks? There are many more problems indeed, so I started to develop a platform that solves these problems and allows developers to do useful work and not use their time worrying about these problems. Having more than 16 years of experience in software development and an extensive customer database, I can state that almost all IT companies, banks, educational institutions, and even government agencies have the same problems. All the contacted companies (banks, outsource developing company, games developing, web and application developing companies) are interested in a simple solution to these problems.

I like the UI of this product, but how does it differ from using Vault's[1] SSH secret engine? [1]https://www.vaultproject.io/api/secret/ssh/index.html https://www.vaultproject.io/api/secret/ssh/index.html

  SSH Secrets Engine most likely acts as an API and uses a different work model than we do. An important fact about Werbot is that there is no need to install additional software on a local machine or a remote server. Werbot passes all the traffic through itself and all verifications take place directly in the core of the system. We do not change the way you are used to work on servers, we change the way you connect to them. Each connection is made with a single sign on (for example, user@werbot.com if using our SaaS version) and a user's private key. Once the user is signed on, a list of all available servers is displayed to him and he can automatically connect to one of them by just selecting the needed item on the list. In the user's profile you can see the user's activity and the working time. Additional server access settings can be also managed through user's profile, for example you can set different access limitations by geolocation, IP, country or time schedule.
