Secret management in the age of AI agents requires rethinking trust boundaries. The critical question is no longer who can access secrets, but where plaintext can ever exist.

A deep dive into secret management threat models in the age of AI agents. The critical question is no longer who can access secrets, but where plaintext can ever exist, and what that implies for risk, blast radius, and operational burden.

The digital transformation of businesses has significantly increased reliance on advanced computing paradigms, primarily cloud computing and distributed computing. Cloud computing offers scalable, on-demand access to computing resources over the internet, managed centrally by providers like AWS and Google Cloud. In contrast, distributed computing involves a network of interconnected computers working collaboratively to solve complex problems, enhancing fault tolerance and processing speed. While cloud computing excels in flexibility and cost-efficiency with a pay-as-you-go model, distributed computing provides superior performance for parallel processing tasks. The integration of AI into cloud platforms further enhances capabilities, driving innovation and efficiency in various applications.
