ByteHide Secrets
What it is
ByteHide Secrets combines secret detection with centralized secret management for development and security teams. Its scanner checks source code, compiled binaries, repositories, and commit history, running locally or in CI/CD pipelines. Detection targets include API keys, cloud and database credentials, certificates, SSH keys, Kubernetes secrets, and infrastructure-as-code secrets. The product describes machine-learning detection intended to reduce false positives, while documentation says scanning remains local and source code does not leave your environment. Management features include separate development, staging, and production values, role-based access, audit logs, and SDK integration. ByteHide Vault stores encrypted, versioned secrets, supports one-click rollback and a local encrypted vault, syncs with AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, and Vercel, and can schedule credential rotation. Integrations include GitHub, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, AWS, Jenkins, GitLab CI, Webpack, and Vite. Plans include a free option at no cost with a 14-day trial.
