AI coding assistants and MCP servers have made development faster, but they’ve also made secrets exposure harder to catch. Developers share credentials through config files, Git repos, and CI/CD logs without realizing it. This post walks through how GitGuardian integrates with AWS Secrets Manager to give security teams full visibility across the secrets lifecycle: detecting when vaulted credentials show up in code, finding duplicate secrets scattered across multi-account architectures, and putting continuous governance policies in place so secrets management becomes proactive rather than reactive. We cover a phased implementation roadmap, from initial deployment through automated monitoring, that helps you build a secrets security strategy that grows with your organization.
