Secrets management is a critical aspect of platform security that ensures access to sensitive information like API keys and credentials is monitored, secure, and can be rapidly responded to in case of an outage or data breach. As platforms become increasingly complex and decentralized, the risk of data breaches increases, making proper secrets management practices essential for maintaining secure development environments. A developer-first platform like Doppler provides seamless integration with these best practices, enabling teams to implement secure secrets management throughout the development lifecycle.
