Secrets management is how a team stores, distributes, rotates and audits sensitive values such as API keys, passwords and certificates. The aim is that no secret ever sits in code or plain configuration.
CI/CD is the practice of building and testing every code change automatically, then releasing changes that pass through a repeatable pipeline. It shortens the gap between writing code and running it in production.
DevSecOps is the practice of building security checks into everyday software delivery. Code, dependencies and infrastructure are tested automatically on every change instead of being reviewed only before release.
An audit trail is a chronological, tamper-resistant record of who did what, when and to which data or system. It lets organisations reconstruct events, prove compliance and investigate errors, fraud or security incidents.
Key management is the set of practices and systems for creating, storing, using, rotating and retiring cryptographic keys. It keeps encrypted data and digital signatures trustworthy.
