SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Bitwarden, a credential management leader empowering enterprises, developers and individuals to securely store and share sensitive data, launched the general availability of Secrets Manager. Bitwarden Secrets Manager allows DevOps and IT teams to securely store, manage, automate and share sensitive authentication credentials at scale throughout the development lifecycle. Bitwarden combines zero knowledge, end-to-end encryption with an easy-to-use interface and predictable pricing for secrets management.

With data breaches and security top of mind for many, managing passwords, keys and other sensitive information is critical but still a challenge for businesses working across environments, platforms and teams. As a result, developers have an increasing role to play in maintaining the security of sensitive company data.

Securing database keys, code bases and other privileged credentials keeps enterprise development teams safe when working across environments and platforms. A recent Bitwarden poll of over 100 developers found that:

• Nearly a quarter of developers have experienced a data breach.
• While 72% of development teams agree that secrets managers help prevent data breaches, more than half (52%) still do not have a secure solution.
• Secrets management occupies a big part of their day-to-day job – nearly one-fifth of respondents spend more than 5 hours per week managing developer secrets.
