What customers say
“For more websites, we now don’t need to go externally for security testing. We can fire up Invicti, run the tests as often as we like, view the scan results, and mitigate to our hearts’ content. As a result, the budget we were spending every year on penetration testing decreased by approximately 60% almost immediately and went down even more the following year, to about 20% of our initial spending.”
– Brian Brackenborough | CISO, Channel 4
“Invicti detected web vulnerabilities that other solutions did not. It is easy to use and set up...”
- Henk-Jan Angerman | Founder, SECWATCH
“I had the opportunity to compare expertise reports with Invicti ones. Invicti was better, finding more breaches.”
- Andy Gambles | Senior Analyst, OECD

Frequently asked Secrets questions
What type of secrets does Invicti detect?
Invicti detects exposed credentials such as API keys, tokens, passwords, and other sensitive values embedded in source code and configuration files.
Does Invicti prevent secrets from reaching production?
Invicti helps teams identify exposed secrets early in the development lifecycle so issues can be addressed before applications are deployed. Prevention depends on how teams choose to act on findings within their development workflows.
Is secrets scanning enabled by default?
Secrets scanning is enabled automatically in Invicti AppSec Core, with no manual configuration required to get started.
How does Invicti detect exposed secrets?
Invicti identifies exposed secrets using pattern-based detection combined with additional heuristics to distinguish likely secrets from non-sensitive values.
How does Invicti reduce false positives in secrets scanning?
Invicti applies deduplication, suppression, reachability, and business intelligence to reduce noise from values that resemble secrets but do not pose real risk.
How does secrets scanning fit into Invicti's broader AppSec platform?
Secrets scanning is part of Invicti’s code security capabilities and integrates into a centralized view of application risk, alongside application, API, and runtime vulnerabilities.
