GitGuardian invites you to their event

From Confidence to Competence: Overcoming Secrets Management Challenges

About this event

Join us for an insightful discussion on the realities of secrets management, featuring Grace Law, Principal Security Engineer in Application Security at Manulife, and Chris Smith, Product Marketing Director for Machine Identities & DevSecOps at CyberArk. Together, they’ll share real-world experiences and strategies for overcoming the most pressing challenges in secrets management and security.

Some of the talking points we will discuss…

  • The False Sense of Security: We’ll explore why it takes an average of 27 days to remediate leaked secrets and discuss what this timeline means for security.
  • Developer vs. Security Divide: Should developers take more responsibility for secrets, or is it the job of security teams?
  • The Budget Reality: U.S. companies spend almost twice as much on secrets management as their European counterparts. Are European organizations underestimating the risk? 
  • AI’s Double-Edged Sword: AI can be both a solution and a challenge in secrets management. We’ll explore the potential of AI in secrets management and discuss whether coding assistants could be impacting developer habits around secrets.

This session will provide essential insights into secrets management practices, predictions for where the industry is headed, and practical advice for scaling your approach. Don’t miss learning from practitioners who navigate these challenges daily.

We look forward to seeing you on Thursday, November 21st!
