Developer-first secrets detection across your workflow

Secrets are high-value credentials, like passwords, API keys, and database tokens, hardcoded within your source code that, when exposed, will compromise a company's security. Exposed secrets can grant unauthorized access to systems and data, leading to breaches and compliance risks. Preventing exposure requires identifying and removing secrets early in development and ensuring they never reach source control.

Secrets consist of:

• Passwords
• API keys
• Encryption keys
• Tokens
• Database credentials

Leaked secrets are a severe security risk since they grant unauthorized access to secure systems and data. Attackers can pivot quickly, escalate privileges, and exfiltrate sensitive information using exposed tokens, keys, or credentials. Rapid detection and immediate rotation of affected secrets are critical to contain impact and restore a secure posture.

Secrets in your code repository:

• Increases developer workload to find, fix, and push changes
• Requires painful remediation by forcing rotation of keys, tokens, and passwords
