![]() ![]() Then there’s Doppler, which recently raised $20 million as part of a series A funding round. GitHub, GitLab, and Atlassian all offer various levels of secrets-scanning tools for their code repositories. Cloud giants Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud offer AWS Secrets Manager and Secrets Manager, respectively. 1Password acquired SecretHub last year, which was the basis for its 1Password Secrets Automation service. HashiCorp Vault offers a vault for teams to securely store tokens, passwords, certificates, and encryption keys. Secrets management is shaping up to be a fairly crowded market. In the same 1Password survey, DevOps and IT workers said they spend an average of 25 minutes each day managing secrets – which the company estimated to add up to an annual payroll expense of roughly $8.5 billion. It also needs to be scalable, considering the sheer number of secrets developers are using, and also not time-intensive. Those secrets were then used to compromise the customers.ġPassword estimates the cost of a company losing control of its secrets at $1.2 million per year.Įnterprises need processes in place to handle secrets management, such as inventorying what secrets they have, controlling access, sharing secrets safely with collaborators, and promptly revoking those secrets when they are exposed. Last year, attackers compromised Codecov and stole secrets belonging to Codecov’s customers. Earlier this month, GitHub said adversaries were able to download private data from some organizations using Heroku and Travis-CI after stealing a handful of OAuth tokens used by those two platforms. Over 6 million secrets were detected in scans of public GitHub repositories in 2021, according to GitGuardian’s State of Secrets Sprawl 2022 report.Īdversaries routinely attempt to intercept these secrets in order to gain access to cloud environments, help with lateral movement, and access data in applications. ![]() The secrets are scattered across source code, container and infrastructure images, and configuration files. A survey by 1Password last year found that 65% of companies juggle more than 500 secrets, and 18% said they have “more than they can count.” Secrets refer to sensitive pieces of data such as tokens, encryption keys, API keys, and digital certificates. ![]() The platform can also handle secrets rotation, and it sends developers alerts over Slack and Microsoft Teams to inform them when the secrets are changed. The Doppler platform syncs secrets across devices, environments, and team members, so that developers don’t wind up sharing secrets on insecure platforms (such as Slack or email) or including them within. The latest startup to address this space is Doppler, whose platform helps developers securely store, transmit, and audit secrets. ![]()
