Up to 27 days to fix a leaked secret? We feel your pain. Explore how contextual secrets management helps you take control, cut remediation time, and strengthen your security posture. Don't just detect, understand your secrets.

The confidence gap in secrets management is real: 75% of organizations feel secure while only 44% of developers follow best practices. Discover what security experts reveal about remediation challenges, responsibility issues, and practical solutions for protecting your most sensitive credentials.

Storing sensitive values is a problem as old as software itself. In 2016, Uber experienced a massive data breach that exposed 57 million users’ personal information—all traced back to a hardcoded AWS credential discovered in a GitHub repository. While we have successfully established that hardcoding secrets such as API keys and passwords is bad practice, correctly storing them is a different story, and the issues from 2016 are still prevalent today (8 years later…).

This year's report offers a look at what changed, what stayed the same, and where you can find a little hope in the quest for effective secrets management. While other reports focus on code repositories, Nightfall detects secrets across numerous mission critical SaaS apps and endpoints, giving a more comprehensive picture of leakage trends throughout the development lifecycle. We found secrets in ticketing apps, messaging and collaboration tools, cloud workspaces, and yes, code repositories.
