In cybersecurity, "secrets" refer to sensitive information used to authenticate or protect access to systems, data, or services. Examples include passwords, encryption keys, API keys, and tokens. Managing secrets securely is vital to prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, and fraud. Proper secret management involves storing them securely, limiting who can access them, and rotating them regularly. Treating secrets carefully ensures your digital assets and personal information remain confidential and protected from malicious actors.
