Techniques for (i) using contextual information associated with an exposed credential to identify a resource that could be accessed using the exposed credential, (ii) identifying a responsible entity of that resource, and (iii) alerting the responsible entity about the exposed credential are disclosed. A credential is determined to be in an exposed state. The exposed credential, if used, could potentially provide an actor access to a resource, despite the fact that the actor should not have access to the resource. The exposed credential is analyzed to determine a context. Based on that context, the resource is identified. A responsible entity associated with the resource is identified. An alert is then sent to that entity.
