The State of Secrets Sprawl 2025: Healthcare Industry

GitGuardian's 2025 State of Secrets Sprawl Report reveals that 15,590 new secrets (API keys and credentials) were leaked by H-ISAC members alone in public GitHub in 2024–representing a 25% increase from the previous year.

Our expert panel will dive deep into the report's most concerning findings:

• 35% of private repositories contain exposed credentials, not just public ones
• 67% of secrets leaked in 2022 remain active today, creating persistent vulnerabilities across healthcare organizations
• Public repositories using AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot experience 40% higher exposure rates for secret leaks
• 5.1% of repositories using secrets managers still leaked secrets in 2024, proving they're not a silver bullet

GitGuardian's analysis of 15 million public Docker images also uncovered 100,000 valid secrets, including AWS keys and GitHub tokens from Fortune 500 companies.

Top leaked secrets in healthcare include:

• Database assignments and passwords
• MongoDB credentials and Google API keys
• OpenAI API keys and private RSA keys
• Bearer tokens and CLI secrets

From Docker layer exploits to the growing blind spot of generic secrets that bypass standard detection methods, this webinar offers essential insights into one of cybersecurity's most overlooked yet dangerous threats specifically impacting healthcare organizations.
