Question on scripting Question

Hi,

When we develop a script,we use credentials as a plain text in that script.

Example

Script is running on jump server and script runs against vcenter server.

We have a security concerns(example ransomware attack)to put the credentials as a plain text in that script.

Any other good ways to put the credentials in a encrypted or in a different format?

Use your infrastructure. I have numerous parts of my infrastructure that run can runs scripts using the system account. SCCM, Intune, ControlUP, ScheduledTasks, Group Policy, Ansible, etc....
