In an exclusive interview with SafetyDetectives senior editor Roberto Popolizio, Akeyless Co-Founder & CTO Refael Angel explores the evolving landscape of secrets management and machine identity. The discussion highlights how Akeyless addresses the challenges businesses face as they navigate increasingly complex cloud environments and DevOps workflows.
Refael shares key insights into securing non-human identities and effectively managing credentials.
