What it is
A vault for machine credentials, short-lived tokens instead of long-lived keys, and scanning that finds secrets committed to code repositories, tickets and chat.
How to value it
Leaked cloud keys and tokens are behind many cloud breaches and data thefts, and attackers scan public code for them within minutes. Central secrets and leak scanning cut that exposure, and turn rotation after an incident into hours of work instead of weeks.
Questions to ask a vendor
- 1Does it scan our full code history and tools like chat and ticketing, not just new commits?
- 2Can it issue short-lived credentials, so a leaked key expires on its own?
- 3How fast can we rotate every secret after an incident?
- 4Does it integrate with our build pipelines and cloud providers?
For your risk register
- Risk
- Leaked API keys or tokens give access to cloud and SaaS data.
- Control
- Secrets vault, short-lived credentials and leak scanning.
- Owner
- Platform engineering lead.
- Measure
- Open secret-leak findings and median rotation time.
A starting point: set the owner and measure to fit your organisation.

How we list vendors
- A product is listed because it provides the control. Nobody pays to be listed, and on story pages the examples rotate, so no vendor is always first.
- Vendor pages show both the vendor's own research and the incidents involving its products, from our own coverage. We do not leave either out.
- Our summaries are written by us, based on the vendors' own pages. Text in quotation marks or marked "in their own words" is the vendor's own, quoted from its website.
- Logos, product names and quoted text belong to the vendors and are shown to identify them.
- Something wrong? Use "Suggest a correction" on the vendor's page. A product we should look at? Email support@threatnoir.com.
