Secrets Duplication
Secrets duplication is the repeated storage of the same credential in multiple technical stores or systems.
Definition
Secrets duplication is the replication of one credential across different applications, repositories, configuration stores, or infrastructure components. It increases the number of places that can be compromised and makes synchronized rotation and revocation significantly harder.
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.
