Product · Secret Detection

Secrets caughtbefore they reach production.

Provider-specific patterns plus entropy fallback. A full git history sweep at first install, then every push. AI triage drops the noise so the on-call only reads what matters.

Capabilities

Five features that make CybeDefend Secrets Detection always-on credential hygiene.

High-precision rulesets, entropy fallback, full git history sweep, AI triage and a unified dashboard. Credentials never sit unnoticed in your repos.

High-Precision Ruleset

Provider-specific signatures cover the credentials that show up in real codebases: AWS, GCP, Azure, GitHub, GitLab, Stripe, Twilio, OpenAI, Anthropic, Slack, Datadog, Sentry, Postgres connection strings, JWTs, PEM keys and more. New providers are added regularly.

Full git history sweep

First install runs a complete sweep across every branch and commit, not just the working tree. Historical leaks get a one-click 'mark redacted after rotation' workflow so they stop paging the on-call once the credential has been rotated.

Broad Credential Coverage

API keys, passwords, authentication tokens, OAuth tokens, JWTs, private certificates, database connection strings. Anything that looks like a credential in source, even if the provider is not in our signature list, lands in the entropy fallback queue.

Deep Code & Config Scanning

Source code, configuration files, environment variables, Helm values, Kustomize patches, CI variables and IaC templates, all parsed by the same engine.

AI triage to kill the noise

Cybe Analysis re-scores every match, drops obvious false positives like test fixtures and example values, and groups recurring patterns so a class of findings can be triaged in a single click. The on-call only reads what survives the verification pass.

Why choose CybeDefend

Credential hygiene that actually closes the loop.

Three reasons security teams pick CybeDefend's Secrets Detection over the open-source baseline.

Hybrid signature plus entropy

Provider-specific signatures catch the well-known token formats. The Shannon-entropy fallback catches the rest. Two parallel detection paths, every match merged into the same triage queue.

AI triage on top

Cybe Analysis runs over every match to drop the obvious noise (test fixtures, example values, expired tokens) and group recurring patterns. The on-call reads the verified queue, not the raw scanner output.

Findings live where you work

Routed to Jira, GitHub Issues, GitLab Issues and Slack. The unified dashboard stays the source of truth across SAST, SCA, secrets and IaC, so the team responsible for rotation is paged once, not five times.

Where the scanner runs

Repo, agent and pipeline.

Connect the repo, the scan launches in our pods. Verdicts flow back through the dashboard, the MCP server for any compatible agent, and CI gates on GitHub Actions and GitLab CI.

FAQ

Frequently asked about CybeDefend Secrets.

Which providers do you cover?

Cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure), source forges (GitHub PAT and fine-grained tokens, GitLab tokens), payments (Stripe live and test), communications (Twilio, Slack, Discord, Mailgun, SendGrid), AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, Hugging Face), observability (Datadog, Sentry), databases (Postgres connection strings, MongoDB Atlas), generic credentials (JWT, PEM private keys, OAuth tokens), and more. The provider list grows continuously. Anything outside the signature catalog falls back to entropy detection.

How do you handle false positives?

Two layers. The signature engine prefers high-precision provider patterns to keep raw matches accurate. On top of that, Cybe Analysis re-scores every finding to drop obvious noise (test fixtures, example values, expired tokens) and groups recurring patterns. You only triage the queue that survived both passes.

Do you scan git history on first install?

Yes. A full sweep runs across every branch and commit at first install, not just the working tree. Historical hits get a one-click 'mark redacted after rotation' workflow so they stop paging once the credential has been rotated. After the initial sweep, every push is scanned incrementally.
