GitHub
GitHub's built-in scanner that matches partner-registered credential patterns on push, can block the push outright, and notifies issuing providers so they can revoke.
Gitleaks
Go command line scanner that walks git history and file trees against a TOML rule set, combining regular expressions with entropy thresholds to find committed secrets.
Check Point
Commercial scanner that looks for hardcoded credentials and configuration exposure across source, infrastructure code and build output, with a developer-facing CLI and a central console.
Truffle Security
Secret scanner that calls each provider's API to confirm whether a discovered credential is active, across git history, cloud storage, container images and chat and ticketing systems.
