“Secrets management is the practice of securely storing, accessing, and managing sensitive information such as passwords, API keys, database credentials, and tokens. Its purpose is to prevent secrets from being hardcoded into application code or configuration files and instead store them in a centralised, secure location that allows automatic rotation of credentials.”
Clean definition. Nice read and a good selection of questions, thanks.
Thank you, this really means a lot. I’ve found that once people shift their mindset from “what permissions does this user need” to “what does this job function actually do”, so many security headaches suddenly make sense. You’re completely right about the immutable angle too. IaC is great for scanning and consistency, especially in a world where devs love "ClickOps" ahah
