Abstract
The disclosed techniques for secret scanning in cloud environments significantly enhance detection quality and efficiency by employing a multivariate collaborative filtering model. This model intelligently filters out irrelevant secrets identified across customer environments by analyzing a variety of features including secret type, secret value, file path, and other metadata. A relevance score is assigned to each secret based on its similarity to secrets detected in other customers. This approach intelligently filters out irrelevant secrets, reducing the noise and focusing on genuine security risks, thereby enhancing the efficiency and efficacy of secret scanning in cloud environments. The disclosed filtration process also adapts to evolving cloud environments.
