Snapsec - Secret Scanner

In today's digital age, a single exposed secret, like an API key or database password, can unlock the doors to sensitive information, inviting cyber criminals to wreak havoc. A single misstep can lead to severe consequences, including financial loss, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties. To mitigate these risks, organizations must implement a robust security strategy that proactively identifies and addresses potential leaks and vulnerabilities. However, executing this strategy is not straightforward, as it involves managing multiple solutions simultaneously, such as analyzing the attack surface, scanning assets for leaks, and promptly fixing vulnerabilities before they are exploited by attackers.

How can we counter it?

Secret scanners emerge as a powerful ally, tirelessly hunting down these secrets before they fall into the wrong hands. Secret Scanners are designed to proactively identify and eliminate potential security vulnerabilities. By scanning your code repositories and infrastructure for hard-coded secrets, API keys, and other sensitive information, Secret Scanner helps you safeguard your organization's most valuable assets.

Secret Scanner in Snapsec Suite

Understanding the effectiveness of the Secret Scanner in countering the leakage of secrets, we have developed Secret Management as one of the solutions in our Snapsec Suite. Our Secret Scanner effectively centralizes the process of detecting and addressing secret leaks, empowering organizations to proactively protect their valuable assets.

Secret Scanner Dashboard

The Secret Scanner dashboard provides a comprehensive overview of the secret scanning process, offering insights into the number of leaks found, scannable entities, and entities with leaks. It displays a list of the top 10 sources with the highest number of leaks, along with their health status, incident count, last scan date and much more. The dashboard also provides you a visualization of the distribution of leaks across different resource types, such as GitHub repositories etc. This centralized secret scanning solution empowers users to efficiently identify and address potential security vulnerabilities, ensuring the protection of sensitive information.

All Leaks Dashboard

All Leaks section provides you a granular view of each identified vulnerability within your code repositories. It displays essential details such as the date of detection, the type of secret exposed, the severity level (e.g., high, medium, low), the specific file and line number where the leak is located, and the author associated with the code change. It also allows you to generate and view the report of the leaks.

Centralized Reporting

Reports generated in Secret Scanner will be viewed and sent to vulnerability management solution, enabling streamlined remediation and tracking of resolved issues.

Secret Scanner Resources

Our External Resources Dashboard provides a centralized hub for managing and monitoring external resources that your organization relies on. This feature offers a comprehensive overview of the health and security status of these resources, no. of incidents occurred on the secret, empowering you to proactively identify and address potential risks.

Scheduling Scans on Resources

The External Resources section provides detailed information about each resource, including its health status, last scan date, and scheduled scan date. You can perform various actions on these resources, such as deletion and on-demand or scheduled scans.

When scheduling a scan, you can choose between one-time and recurring scans. For recurring scans, you can specify the desired frequency to suit your organization's specific needs.

Secret Scanner Integrations

The Integrations feature empowers businesses to seamlessly integrate with third-party platforms, streamlining security workflows and enhancing overall protection. By connecting with code repositories such as GitHub, ticket management systems like Jira, and messaging platforms like Slack, organizations can automate the detection and remediation of secrets across their entire development and collaboration ecosystem. This integration fosters a proactive security approach, enabling early identification of vulnerabilities and swift resolution, ultimately safeguarding sensitive information and reducing the risk of data leaks.

Conclusion

Our Secret Scanner is a powerful solution that empowers organizations to proactively protect their sensitive information. By automating the detection and remediation of secrets, it streamlines security workflows, reduces the risk of data breaches, and enhances overall security posture. With its intuitive dashboard, granular insights, and seamless integrations, Secret Scanner can be an asset for businesses seeking to safeguard their digital assets in today's threat-ridden landscape.
