GitGuardian: The state of Secrets Sprawl on GitHub
API keys, database connection strings, private keys, certificates, usernames, and passwords… As organizations move to cloud architectures, SaaS platforms, and microservices, developers handle increasing amounts of sensitive information, more than ever before. To add to that, companies are pushing for shorter release cycles, developers have many technologies to master, and the complexity of enforcing good security practices increases with the size of the organization, the number of repositories, the number of developer teams, and their geographical spread.
