GitLevel - Leaked Secrets Auto-Detection
FY 2020-21 · 2020-06-01
Summary
This project will extend OpsLevel’s product by adding the ability for it to automatically detect secrets (passwords, API keys, authentication tokens, etc.) that have been leaked into customers’ code bases. Storing secrets in code is a bad practice and one that can easily lead to security breaches, lost data, and more, but it can be very difficult to police the practice effectively at large organizations with hundreds of developers and thousands of code repositories. OpsLevel will incorporate machine intelligence to automatically detect these secrets and reduce this liability for our customers.

Description
This project will extend OpsLevel’s product by adding the ability for it to automatically detect secrets (passwords, API keys, authentication tokens, etc.) that have been leaked into customers’ code bases. Storing secrets in code is a bad practice and one that can easily lead to security breaches, lost data, and more, but it can be very difficult to police the practice effectively at large organizations with hundreds of developers and thousands of code repositories. OpsLevel will incorporate machine intelligence to automatically detect these secrets and reduce this liability for our customers.
Description (French)
Ce projet permettra de compléter le produit d'OpsLevel en lui ajoutant la capacité de détecter automatiquement des informations confidentielles (mots de passe, clés API, jetons d'authentification, etc.) qui ont été introduites dans les bases de code de clients. Le stockage d'informations confidentielles dans le code est une mauvaise pratique qui peut facilement conduire à des failles de sécurité, des pertes de données, et plus encore, mais il peut être très difficile de contrôler efficacement cette pratique dans les grandes organisations qui comptent des centaines de concepteurs et des milliers de dépôts de code. OpsLevel intégrera un système d'intelligence artificielle pour détecter automatiquement ces informations confidentielles et réduire cette responsabilité pour nos clients.
