Improving security: Aiven and GitHub's secret scanning partnership

What's this blog post about?

Aiven has partnered with GitHub's secret scanning program to enhance security for cloud data infrastructure. The partnership enables private repository scanning for Aiven secrets and API tokens, which was previously only available for public repositories. This helps customers keep their confidential code as secure as their open source packages. When a match is found in a private repository, the repository admins and committer are alerted, allowing them to manage the issue via the Security tab in GitHub. The partnership aims to protect sensitive data from being compromised or unauthorized actions taken due to accidentally committed secrets on GitHub.
