FINOS PROJECTS AND COMMUNITY
CATCHIT SECRET SCANNER CONTRIBUTED BY GOLDMAN SACHS
FINOS and the Goldman Sachs CatchIT project team (as well as their newly formed OSPO) are excited to announce that CatchIT Secret Scanner has been successfully contributed to FINOS. CatchIT is a simple yet powerful framework that detects sensitive information in source-code and helps mitigate the risk of credentials leakage while minimizing disruption to developers.
