Example Concept: Implementing a secrets management strategy involves using tools like HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, or Azure Key Vault to securely store and manage sensitive information. These tools can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines to automate the retrieval of secrets during build or deployment processes, ensuring that secrets are not hardcoded in the source code. Access control policies should be enforced to limit who can access or modify secrets, and audit logs should be maintained to track secret usage and access patterns.
