End-to-End Secrets Security: Making a Plan to Secure Your Machine Identities
Briefly

Machine identities outnumber human identities by a factor of 45-to-1, with 93% of organizations experiencing multiple identity-related breaches annually.
What we really need is a change in our processes, especially around the creation, storage, and working with machine identities, combining secrets management solutions and secret detection tools.
We have an unknown number of valid long-lived plaintext secrets spread throughout our code, configurations, CI pipelines, project management systems, and other sources, which we cannot account for, without a coherent rotation strategy.
Making an end-to-end secrets security game plan involves addressing the machine identity problem, secrets sprawl, and creating multi-step plans for secrets detection and management.
