Jun 13, 2023Connor Gilbert

Summary
This post details an expansion of GitLab Secret Detection's automatic response capabilities, specifically integrating with Google Cloud to automatically revoke leaked Google Cloud service account keys, API keys, and OAuth client secrets found in public projects on GitLab.com. This integration is available for GitLab Ultimate users and is enabled by default for projects using Secret Detection. It builds upon existing automatic response features for GitLab Personal Access Tokens and extends protection to any public branch.
