Industry Mainstay

Akeyless is a verified, high-traction Series B cybersecurity company offering a vaultless secrets management platform. While the underlying business is strong (50+ employees, significant funding, enterprise adoption), the specific project submission provided is low-quality, containing exaggerated claims ('used by most people') and vague data. The score reflects the high real-world utility and market position of the platform, heavily penalized by low Quality Factors due to the inaccurate and lazy submission details.
