Secret Zero: Hardening Your CI/CD for Agentic Deployments

By mr.technology // Technical Operations

How secrets get exposed in your pipeline

In automated agent environments, your CI/CD is usually the weakest link. Developers commit environment templates, secrets managers are misconfigured, and then the agent pulls the config down into a transient container.
