Secrets management has become increasingly complex as engineering teams build and deploy applications faster, across multiple environments, with increasing complexity. Traditional methods, such as manual processes, hardcoded credentials, and scattered configurations, are no longer sufficient for modern teams, creating security risks, inefficiencies, and scaling issues. Modernizing secrets management by automating secrets rotation, implementing granular access controls, centralizing storage, and integrating tools into CI/CD pipelines is essential to empower teams to move quickly, stay secure, and scale without bottlenecks. As applications evolve and teams scale, secrets management must also scale, requiring strong access controls, centralized storage, and automation at its core.
