Example Concept: Use a secret management tool like HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, or Azure Key Vault to securely store and manage secrets. Integrate these tools with your CI/CD pipeline to fetch secrets dynamically during the build or deployment process. Ensure that secrets are encrypted at rest and in transit, and restrict access using role-based access controls (RBAC) to minimize exposure. Regularly audit access logs and rotate secrets to maintain security hygiene.
