The Open-Source Trap: How Legacy Secrets Scanners Fail Against Modern Threats

Secrets are leaking everywhere from the developer environment today. Sensitive, business-critical secrets, cloud  keys, API tokens, PII, and more are routinely hardcoded into source code, stored in logs in plaintext, and reused and reshared across cloud services, productivity tools, and messaging apps. But even as threat actors shift left to take advantage of sprawling secrets estates, the longstanding, open-source scanners that many security teams rely on to find and secure their secrets first, before the adversary, are instead falling farther behind. 

Watch this webinar led by Liav Caspi, Co-Founder and CTO of Legit Security, where he explores what modern secrets scanning looks like today, and how to easily evolve any program beyond conventional detection techniques. using expanded visibility, automation, AI, and other cutting-edge techniques to our security advantage.
