Secrets management is a topic on many security professionals' minds. Secrets sprawl is a common challenge for many organizations. A secret is basically data considered sensitive. It could be usernames, passwords, encryption keys, API keys, and so on. These secrets may live in numerous places in an organization. They could live in source code in git repos. They may be saved in excel files on developers' machines. They could even live on post-it notes under someone's keyboard.
