Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for securely handling secrets by securing development and operations pipelines. Techniques include identifying a network access request for a process within the development and operations pipeline; accessing a result of at least one investigation of the process and the network access request, wherein the at least one investigation includes one of monitoring the process behavior, performing a process attestation, or performing an inspection of the network access request; determining whether to authorize the network access request; and conditional on whether the network access request is authorized, dynamically injecting a secret into the network access request, wherein the secret is not made available to the process itself.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to context-based analysis of requested activities. Techniques include building dynamic context profiles for processes based on static parameters of the processes, dynamic parameters of the processes, and detected activity involving the processes; receiving an indication of current runtime activity involving at least one identity; matching the indication of current runtime activity to a dynamic context profile; determining a context-based probability that the current runtime activity is anomalous, suspicious, or non-valid with respect to the dynamic context profile; and performing a control action in association with either the current runtime activity or the process based on whether the current runtime activity is determined to be anomalous, suspicious, or non-valid.
