HCP Vault Radar for secret discovery enters limited availability

What's this blog post about?

HCP Vault Radar, HashiCorp's new secret scanning and discovery product, is now prepared for production workloads as it enters limited availability. The tool helps DevOps and security teams reduce the risk associated with secret sprawl by detecting unmanaged and leaked secrets in popular developer tools and repositories. HCP Vault Radar prioritizes remediation efforts based on factors such as whether a secret was discovered in the latest version of a file, its historical usage, and its presence in Vault's key value stores. The product supports secret scanning from both SaaS and agent-based variants, integrating results into a streamlined HCP dashboard for prioritization and remediation workflows. Additionally, it includes a CLI for on-demand use cases and integrates with ticketing and alerting solutions to prevent secrets from being merged into the main branch in GitHub pull requests.
