Detect exposed API keys and tokens in commits, automatically revoke compromised credentials, and update security documentation.

Workflow Steps

1

GitHub Security Lab

Scan for exposed tokens

Configure GitHub Security Lab Taskflow Agent to specifically monitor for token leaks and API key exposures in commits. Set up real-time scanning that triggers immediately when sensitive credentials are detected in code.

2

AWS IAM

Automatically revoke credentials

When AWS API keys or tokens are detected, use AWS IAM API to immediately deactivate the compromised credentials. Set up automated rotation for affected services and generate new secure credentials.

3

Notion

Update security incident log

Log the security incident in your team's Notion workspace, documenting the exposed credential type, affected services, remediation actions taken, and lessons learned. Update security best practices documentation to prevent recurrence.
