CI/CD Secrets Rotation Policy Workflow
Automate CI/CD secrets rotation approvals to protect credentials and prevent unauthorized access.
Why automate?
CI/CD pipelines require secure credentials (API keys, tokens, SSH keys) to automate deployments. Without regular rotation, compromised secrets can lead to unauthorized access and security breaches. Manual secrets management slows down updates and introduces risk due to inconsistent enforcement. Without approvals, expired or weak credentials may remain in use, exposing systems to potential attacks. Cflow helps to automate CI/CD Secrets Rotation Approvals, ensuring that credential updates are validated, approved, and implemented on time, strengthening security in automated workflows.
