Spec score 8.2 #5 of 24 in Secrets Scanning Software

What it is

ByteHide Secrets pairs secret scanning with centralized management for sensitive values. Its scanner searches source code, compiled binaries, repositories, and commit history, and can run locally or in CI/CD pipelines, including pull-request scanning. Listed targets range from API keys and cloud or database credentials to certificates, SSH keys, Kubernetes secrets, and infrastructure-as-code secrets. ByteHide says its machine-learning detection is intended to find secrets while limiting false positives; its documentation says scanning stays local and source code does not leave the user's environment.

For managing values, the product supports separate development, staging, and production settings, role-based access, audit logs, and SDK integration. ByteHide Vault provides encrypted, versioned storage, rollback, a local encrypted vault for isolated setups, cloud syncing, and scheduled credential rotation. Listed safeguards include encryption in transit and at rest, a zero-knowledge architecture, IP allowlisting, custom headers, and two-factor authentication. Integrations include GitHub, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, AWS, Jenkins, GitLab CI, Webpack, and Vite. It runs on API, Linux, macOS, self-hosted environments, web, and Windows. The free plan is free, with up to 2,000 secrets and no credit card required; a 14-day trial is also listed.
