What does 'Secrets Management' mean?
Secure storage and delivery of credentials an application needs at runtime — API keys, database passwords, tokens, certificates — so they are not written into source code or configuration files. Values are encrypted at rest, injected into the environment when the service runs, and access is scoped and logged. Rotation and per-environment values are usually part of it.
