Mend Secrets

Mend Secrets is an automated secret and credential detection solution engineered to prevent software developers and DevOps engineers from accidentally committing sensitive credentials, API keys, private certificates, and authentication tokens into source code repositories. Operating directly within local developer environments and centralized Git workflows, it neutralizes credential leakage risks at the source.

The solution provides multi-layered scanning across local developer machines and centralized repositories. Core technical capabilities encompass pre-commit and pre-push Git hooks that block commits containing detected secrets locally before they reach remote repositories, historical Git repository scanning that uncovers leaked secrets in commit histories, integration with CI/CD build gates, high-accuracy entropy analysis paired with regular expression pattern matching, and automated alerts to security teams. Mend Secrets inspects code without transmitting proprietary source code outside corporate environments.

Enterprises, technology companies, and financial institutions deploy Mend Secrets to eliminate the risk of credential compromise and repository data leaks. It integrates natively with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and popular developer IDEs. Common operational use cases include blocking developers from pushing AWS access keys, database passwords, or Stripe API tokens into public or private repositories, conducting deep scans of legacy repositories to identify leaked credentials, accelerating incident response when tokens are exposed, and satisfying regulatory data protection baselines like SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
