Automatically Find Exposed Secrets Across Your Cloud Workloads

Automatically Find Exposed Secrets Across Your Cloud Workloads

Supercharge your cloud security with Upwind’s Exposed Secrets scanning! 

Exposed secrets include:

  • OAuth tokens 
  • AWS secret keys
  • SSH keys
  • API keys
  • Database passwords

Exposed secrets can cause serious damage to your organization if they fall into the wrong hands, potentially giving bad actors the opportunity to use these tokens to gain broader access to sensitive data and critical infrastructure. 

To keep this from happening, Upwind now gives you the out-of-the-box ability to classify your data and find secrets across your infrastructure. The Upwind platform then uses this context to give accurate risk scores for threats and vulnerabilities and help you understand which exposed secrets pose a critical risk to your organization.

Use this capability to continuously find resources holding secrets, leverage context to understand if they contain sensitive data, and prioritize exposed secrets to rapidly respond to threats and high-risk vulnerabilities.
