Use case

Detect cloud access keys in files and repositories

Cloud credentials can provide broad access to infrastructure, storage, workloads and automation. They need fast detection and response.

Use case

Why this matters.

Exposed credentials are not just sensitive text. They can become access paths into systems, cloud resources, databases and automation workflows.

Common examples

  • Cloud keys in .env files
  • Service principal secrets in scripts
  • Terraform state or variables in shared folders
  • CI/CD credentials in exported configs

Onyxaris approach

Find, enrich and prioritize.

Detect

Identify likely secrets across supported files, sources and archives.

Contextualize

Attach source, path, file type, confidence, environment hints and exposure indicators.

Prioritize

Rank findings by likely impact and remediation urgency.

Remediate

Support rotation, revocation, removal and tracking.

Recommended response

Revoke or rotate the key, check activity logs and replace with managed identity or controlled secret storage.

Onyxaris helps teams focus on what needs attention first, then document the path from discovery to closure.
