Secret detection & mitigation challenges

Hardcoded secrets are frequently added to source code to deliver product functionality faster.

Secrets can be added to new branches without review or go unnoticed in PR reviews to prod branches.

Secrets must be removed immediately. The longer a secret is exposed, the higher the risk of sprawl, and potential for improper use.

Hardcoded secrets are inherently dangerous as they act as keys to valuable information.

Appropriate and secure ways to reference secrets in code are not always followed.
