Secrets caught before production.
Provider signatures plus entropy fallback. Full git history at install, then every push.
A key left in a .env is a door left open.
Five layers between a key and production.
Provider signatures, entropy fallback, full git history sweep and AI triage.
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.

.env.productionAI 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.

Hybrid signature plus entropy
Provider-specific signatures catch the well-known token formats. The Shannon-entropy fallback catches the rest.

4. Secret Scanning
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.
