Every business is unique, so are the technology challenges! Helping SMBs/SMEs for >30yrs (CTO, CIO, CISO and SDVOSB - MSP/MSSP)

Did you know that 66% of the leaked secrets from developer code repos come from 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 accounts? Yeah, me either, and these are accounts that security tools aren't checking, and that's a problem! These are happening for one of two reasons: - accidental, (wrong account was used) - intentional, (developer keeps a copy for personal use) But which one doesn't matter! The fact is that it 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 happen! Which means secrets need to be handled differently. - no more hardcoding them - no more keeping them in a separate file or folder - no more depending on a time-based refresh Just like everyone needs password managers, everyone with their own code needs a management tool for secrets. (And yes, some password manager vendors like Keeper Security, Inc., 1Password, Bitwarden etc do have that functionality available as well.) Your dev team may be awesome, but they're also human... #CIO #CTO #cybersecurity #SMB
