In an interview with IT-Administrator, Adfinis CTO Michael Hofer discusses the growing problem of "secrets sprawl", and how unencrypted credentials, fragmented access, and a lack of visibility remain critical challenges for many organizations.
Excerpt from IT-Administrator, December 2025 issue:

"Kubernetes comes with countless components and resources, many of which require sensitive information such as credentials for ongoing operation. Even in medium-sized clusters, maintaining this data manually is an impossible task that IT managers should avoid at all costs for security reasons. We spoke to Michael Hofer, CTO at Adfinis, about the threats to such infrastructures and how secrets management platforms can help."
