Detect leaked secrets, API keys, and tokens
Find leaked credentials, API keys, cloud tokens, and signing keys before attackers do — with validity checks and automated revocation workflows.
The problem
Secrets leak through code, configs, paste sites, and support tickets. A single live token can compromise an entire cloud account or signing pipeline.
Why it matters now
Automated scanners harvest fresh secrets in seconds. Detection must be continuous, branded, and tied to a revocation workflow.
How Verasity™ solves it
Multi-source coverage
Public code, paste sites, forums, package registries, and CI artifact logs.
Validity checks
Confirm live keys safely where supported by the provider.
Revocation workflows
Trigger rotation playbooks across AWS, GCP, Azure, Stripe, and other major providers.
Developer notifications
Targeted alerts to repo owners with remediation steps.
Step-by-step workflow
- 1
Register monitored brands, projects, and known token prefixes.
- 2
Continuous collection from code, paste, and registry sources.
- 3
Pattern, entropy, and validity scoring on every finding.
- 4
Open tickets and run rotation playbooks for live secrets.
- 5

Example leak
A live Stripe restricted key appears in a public Gist. Verasity™ validates it, opens a P1 ticket, and notifies the on-call engineer to rotate within minutes.
