Topic: Smarter Secret Management with PowerShell Automation
Speaker: Salahuddin Syed
Date: 13.11.2025
Secrets such as passwords, API keys, and certificates are at the heart of modern applications and automation workflows—but they are also one of the most common sources of security breaches. Recent studies show that 74% of breaches involve compromised credentials, with nearly half tied to application secrets. Hardcoded credentials in scripts and configuration files can remain exposed for months, creating risks that are expensive and time-consuming to remediate. For PowerShell professionals, managing thousands of secrets across hybrid and cloud environments quickly becomes unmanageable without automation.

This session demonstrates how PowerShell can be used to automate secret management and close these security gaps. We’ll look at how centralized vaults reduce secret-related incidents by over 70%, how dynamic credential provisioning shrinks exposure windows from months to hours, and how just-in-time secret delivery minimizes privileged account abuse. Live examples will show how to connect PowerShell with vaults, APIs, and CI/CD pipelines to automate rotation, enforce least privilege, and integrate zero-trust practices into everyday workflows. Attendees will leave with practical scripts, patterns, and techniques to improve both security and efficiency in their PowerShell environments.
