It might depend on who you're trying to secure it from. My understanding is (correct me) that the airflow connections are encrypted in the DB so it should be good enough -- just make sure you've got the crypto package and you've generated a FERNET key. See : http://airflow.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration.html#connections
If you want to go beyond that, and suppose you're using containers, you could have a look at environment variables. There are other external secret holders like Hashicorp Vault, AWS Parameter Store... but you'll need to evaluate whether it's worth the extra setup/overhead.
