While in theory you can, I'm yet to see a proper defense in depth implementation despite having >10 years in the industry. In my book, if you get shell access to pod, it's game over, as these secrets in program's memory are probably also available as environmental variables, accessible in k8s Secrets etc., not to mention other ways to compromise an underlying node and the whole cluster.. But yes, this is already too far from the original topic.
