Many development teams overlook the critical security risks associated with machine identities and credential sprawl. While user authentication is often robust, the secrets used by services to authenticate with databases and other systems are frequently mishandled. These secrets can proliferate across various locations like environment variables, code repositories, and CI/CD systems, creating a large attack surface that attackers can exploit rapidly. AI
