[GitHub Launches Free 'Public Monitoring': Employees Leaking Keys with Personal Accounts Can Be Caught in Real-Time] According to monitoring by Beating, GitHub has launched a free public preview of 'Public Monitoring' for Enterprise Cloud customers who have enabled Secret Protection. The system performs real-time scans of all public surfaces on (github.com), including code, PRs, Issues, and comments in Discussions. Once associated credential leaks are detected, the system uses the platform identity layer and verified domains to attribute the incident and notify the corresponding enterprise within seconds. Even if the leaker is using a personal account not linked to the enterprise or an email that is not publicly disclosed, the system can still accurately match the incident. This addresses the pain point where employees accidentally leak work-related keys in personal repositories or open-source projects without the enterprise security team being aware, helping enterprises revoke credentials before they are exploited. The new feature is ready to use out of the box and does not scan any private repositories. [Original Link]
