[Webinar] Detecting intrusion in DevOps environments with AWS canary tokens

Last year, hardcoded secrets made it 2nd to the OWASP Top 10 Web Application Security Risks. This year, the vulnerability gained a spot and now ranks 15th on the MITRE CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses. Needless to say, no organization wants to have its secrets exposed during software development. But what if I told you security teams could use hardcoded secrets to their advantage? Join me on Wednesday, July 27th, for a live discussion with Eric Fourrier, CTO at GitGuardian, on how to detect compromised developer and DevOps environments with canary tokens.
