Secret sprawl, the uncontrolled spread of credentials across development tools and repositories, costs organizations significant money through reduced productivity. A typical 50-person development team loses $936,000 annually on secret-related tasks like hunting exposed credentials, rotating keys, and debugging failed deployments. Security teams waste an additional $520,000 investigating false positive alerts. Beyond direct costs, secret sprawl creates hidden velocity taxes through development delays, context switching, and tool fragmentation that erode competitive advantage.
