Secrets management has come a long way – from simple credentials kept in code to KMS tools to privileged access management and then secrets vaults. This talk will discuss some of the history of the movement toward best practices in password, token, key, and credential management, including HSMs, KMSs, PAMs, and PKI management. Finally, how secrets management became a MUST for DevOps and security teams of all enterprises, and why the right tool needs to be cloud agnostic, cloud-native, integrable with any DevOps pipelines and infinitely scalable.
