In this episode of Privacy Files we explore a cybersecurity topic that is so obscure that according to our guest, 9 out of every 10 security professionals don't even know they're supposed to be managing it.

If you've never heard about "secrets", you're not alone. We hope this interview sheds light on an extremely critical aspect of cybersecurity that can mean the difference between keeping your personal data safe and losing it to another breach.

Brian Vallelunga is the CEO and Founder of Doppler, a company on a mission to protect consumers' sensitive personal information by securing the world's secrets. In short, Doppler helps companies securely manage, orchestrate and govern secrets at scale using a developer-first, cloud-hosted platform.

Every digital product you come into contact with employs secrets to unlock permissions-based access to a company's databases and services.

Secrets are the keys to a business' digital kingdom. They literally can unlock all the doors. And while they help organizations manage access to sensitive parts of a company's digital assets, poor secrets management can lead to a catastrophic data breach.

While this interview is designed to provide you with a greater appreciation for the work that goes into protecting your data, this conversation might also make you reevaluate how much personal information you share in the future.
