Secret detection and code-security platform for public and internal repositories, with detectors, honeytokens, remediation workflows and developer/AppSec collaboration.
When this is useful
Useful for teams that need secrets discovery across source control and a path from developer use to AppSec governance.
Verified product and commercial scope
Secret detection and code-security platform for public and internal repositories, with detectors, honeytokens, remediation workflows and developer/AppSec collaboration.
Pricing model: Free tier for smaller/public use cases plus custom business and enterprise subscriptions with quota-based API access. Starter is $0; the pricing page says the free platform includes GitHub-organization repository coverage and default quotas of 10,000 calls/month, while business plans have 1M calls/month by default and custom terms.
License and deployment: SaaS or on-premise deployment is described in the company funding announcement; the commercial product is proprietary.
A useful evaluation
Useful for teams that need secrets discovery across source control and a path from developer use to AppSec governance.
Check included usage, deployment requirements, and what moves to a higher or custom tier before comparing cost.
Put it to work
- Write the job and smallest successful outcome this tool should support.
- Compare one realistic workload or workflow against the published plan and deployment conditions.
- Record likely growth costs and validate the fit with the people who will operate the tool.
Limits and tradeoffs
Business capability and larger quotas are contact-led, and remediation still requires engineering/security process adoption after detection.
