GitGuardian: The State of Secrets Sprawl 2025: Expert Panel

GitGuardian's 2025 State of Secrets Sprawl Report reveals that nearly 24 million new hardcoded secrets were exposed on public GitHub in 2024 alone–a staggering 25% increase from the previous year.

Together with Chris Smith from Cyberark, our expert panel will dive deep into the report's most concerning findings:

• 58% of leaked credentials are now generic secrets that bypass standard detection methods
• 35% of private repositories contain exposed credentials
• why repositories using AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot experience 40% more secret leaks
• 70% of secrets detected in 2022 remain active today, creating persistent vulnerability

From Docker layer exploits to excessive API permissions, this webinar offers essential insights into one of cybersecurity's most overlooked yet dangerous threats.
