In August 2026, AWS Secrets Manager enhanced its capability by adding managed external secrets for Cisco Security Platform API keys and Netskope RBACv3 service-account tokens. These integrations enable automatic rotation of third-party credentials without requiring custom code or separate administrator credentials, improving security and operational efficiency.

Cisco keys follow OAuth refresh token rotation patterns while Netskope tokens utilize SCIM API with pre-rotation validation. Both are self-authenticating rotations, joining a list of other supported third-party platforms. Availability spans all AWS regions supporting managed external secrets.
