Developer Secrets Management Poll

Bitwarden surveyed over 100 developers to gain insights into their practices, challenges, and concerns regarding secrets management and protecting machine-to-machine credentials at scale. The results of this poll illustrate the rapidly growing developer need for secrets management to help protect privileged credentials and prevent data breaches.

Reducing secrets sprawl – which occurs as microservices and tech stacks expand – is also a common reason for developers and DevOps teams to adopt a secrets management solution. With a secrets manager, organizations can centrally secure, manage, and access secrets and other developer credentials, thereby reducing secrets sprawl across development ecosystems. 

Managing secrets with a dedicated solution saves time and mitigates risks in various developer processes. By incorporating secrets management, organizations can further streamline operations and regain valuable time while ensuring a higher level of security.
