FAQPage Schema
How do I scan my codebase for leaked credentials in CI pipelines?

Pre-commit secret scanning detects leaked credentials before they enter version control by applying configurable patterns. It uses popular tooling to check staged files and prevent accidental exposure of API keys and secrets during development.

How do I scan my codebase for leaked credentials in CI pipelines?

You can scan your codebase for leaked credentials in CI pipelines by integrating this scanner to run automatically on pushes and pull requests. It detects exposed secrets across commits and triggers remediation actions to prevent accidental exposure.

Can I customize secret detection patterns for my internal API keys?

Yes, you can customize secret detection patterns for internal API keys using configurable secret patterns. This allows the scanner to identify proprietary credentials and apply specific remediation playbooks tailored to your incident response workflows.

What is the best way to prevent API keys from leaking through version histories?

The best way to prevent API keys from leaking through version histories is to apply automated secret scanning in pre-commit hooks and CI workflows. This detects leaked credentials across commits and provides remediation steps to rotate compromised secrets.

Does the scanner provide remediation guidance for compromised secrets?

Yes, the scanner provides remediation guidance for compromised secrets by generating customizable remediation playbooks and incident response alerts. These steps guide you to revoke compromised secrets and rotate credentials in production environments.
