So it&#8217;s incredibly important for any developer to adhere to proper secrets management practices,\u201d said Max Power, product lead for Bitwarden Secrets Manager.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>RELATED CONTENT: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/sdtimes.com\/security\/implement-secrets-management-to-reduce-your-security-risk\/\"><b>Implement a good secrets management practice to reduce your security risk<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organizations know that they need to do better, but there are many things that tend to get left behind by developers when they\u2019re under pressure to deliver faster, and secrets management is unfortunately one of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nic Manoogian, engineering manager at secrets management platform <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doppler.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doppler<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, believes that in order to successfully implement good secrets management practices, teams should make it work with their existing workflows.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEvaluate your options and really try to make sure that whatever you&#8217;re doing fits into a workflow that&#8217;s sustainable for you, that&#8217;s probably my biggest advice,\u201d said Manoogian.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brian Vallelunga, founder and CEO of Doppler, agreed, saying \u201cif you don&#8217;t tackle the building it into your workflow part, then it&#8217;s just not going to get used and then there&#8217;s no value.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He explained that there are many ways to store secrets, from the least secure method of just storing them in text files to the most secure option of using a platform designed specifically for securely keeping the information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using a secrets management system is beneficial, not just because it is more secure, but it avoids developers having to manage a patchwork of files or different systems where secrets are kept, which actually introduces more friction into development teams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe art and practice of secrets management is keeping those secrets secure, while also making them accessible to developers in the moments they need them with the right access controls and auditing in place,\u201d said Vallelunga.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vallelunga recommends making sure that your secrets management practice can be synced across teams and parts of the software development life cycle, otherwise it can lead to more issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, imagine a scenario where one developer adds a piece of code that requires a secret, and then other developers are working on that code too, but don\u2019t have access to that secret. That can lead to broken builds and lost development time as developers work to track down the proper secret.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Power says \u201cthe goal is to make it as easy as possible to collaborate with these secrets and to share secrets in a secure manner across human users, but also across machine use and between services, between CD pipelines, different environments, and so on.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the respondents of Bitwarden\u2019s Developer Survey, the top priority development teams have when buying a secrets management solution is ease of integration with other tools. Other top factors include company security posture, features, the vendor\u2019s reputation, and scalability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>How secrets management can be a tool in building strong engineering cultures<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SEO tool company <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accuranker.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AccuRanker<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> uses Bitwarden to manage its secrets, and the company has found that having good tooling around secrets management has been important in building its engineering culture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Its chief technical officer Henrik Refslund says that if there isn\u2019t a process in place or good tools to manage things, developers who are pressed for time will often resort to the easiest option available. \u201cIdeally, in a perfect world, you want to be secure by default. You want secure to be the easiest choice for developers,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He said that at AccuRanker, secrets management has become a part of efforts to improve the developer experience. Recognizing that we\u2019re in a market where good developers are hard to come by and retaining developers can also be a challenge, maintaining good developer experience is a big goal for the company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This requires both policies and tooling that go hand in hand and support each other. \u201cWith proper tooling, we were able to set these policies, we were able to create rules and best practices \u2026\u00a0 if you deal with this right, if you create the proper processes and guidelines for this, it helps to build a sound engineering culture around security.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most organizations understand the value of secrets management \u2014 which is the practice of securely storing development credentials like API keys, certificates, and SSH keys \u2014 but not all organizations are following secure secrets management practices.
