## AI overview

Snyk describes how cloud-native development and AI-generated code are increasing secret sprawl across repositories, CI/CD logs, and collaboration tools. The article argues that autonomous AI agents expand this risk by creating and executing credentials, connecting to MCP servers, and changing systems without human visibility. It presents Snyk Secrets as a real-time approach to detecting exposed sensitive data while maintaining developer speed.

## Source excerpt

Snyk Secrets bridges the gap between code and credentials with real-time, high-precision detection, ensuring your most sensitive data stays hidden while your developers stay fast.
