Secrets Management

Secrets Detection JFrog Security Workshop

In today's software development world, developers rely on numerous secrets, including API keys, credentials, and passwords to facilitate seamless interaction between application components as they code. Failing to remove these secrets can have disastrous consequences for businesses, making it essential to find and fix them before release.

Secrets Management: Meeting Developers Where They Are

There’s always a balancing act when it comes to building and deploying cloud-native applications in environments like Amazon Web Services (AWS). The whole point of moving production to the cloud is that developers can move faster than ever before, innovating and shipping new features on a daily basis. But that same speed can be an organization’s downfall if development outpaces security processes and accidentally exposes secrets or other credentials to potential attackers.

The State of Secrets Detection in SaaS Apps

Welcome to our first ever The State of Secrets Security in SaaS Apps, an in-depth look at what security risks are posed by the data stored in organizations' SaaS applications. As companies have adopted a remote-first approach to work, these solutions have increasingly been used to send and store passwords, secrets, and API keys.

Secrets Need to be Secured Everywhere Not Just in Code Repositories

Organizations are unaware of the prevalence of API keys and secrets throughout their systems, and how their users are sharing and using them. Even with security best practices and policies in place, the lack of awareness or compliance, as well as the possibility of human error means that API keys and secrets need protection regardless of where they are stored or shared.

Why DevSecOps Teams Need Secrets Management

Proper IT secrets management is essential to protecting your organization from cyberthreats, particularly in DevOps environments, where common CI/CD pipeline tools such as Jenkins, Ansible, Github Actions, and Azure DevOps use secrets to access databases, SSH servers, HTTPs services and other highly sensitive systems.
