Privileged access management

Secret Management

Secret Management is the discipline of storing, controlling, distributing, and rotating sensitive credentials and secrets securely.

Definition

Secret Management is the operational and technical practice of protecting passwords, keys, tokens, API secrets, and machine credentials throughout their lifecycle. It aims to avoid hardcoded secrets, uncontrolled duplication, scattered storage, and weak access control around high-value technical credentials.

The Ariovis perspective

Secrets must be treated as governed assets with ownership, controlled storage, rotation and revocation. Moving a static secret into a vault is useful, but it does not solve excessive privilege or a missing lifecycle.

These concepts matter most inside a real project.
