About extended metadata checks
Extended metadata checks, often referred to as analyzers in other tools, are a secret scanning feature that you can enable for supported tokens.
When you enable extended metadata checks for tokens, secret scanning provides you with additional information about detected secrets, such as ownership and contact details. This information helps you:
- Gain deeper insight into detected secrets: Know who owns a secret.
- Improve incident response: Quickly identify responsible teams or individuals when a secret is leaked.
- Enhance compliance: Ensure secrets align with your organization’s governance and security policies.
This information appears on GitHub, in the page for the related secret scanning alert, helping you prioritize and remediate exposures more efficiently.
Metadata availability varies depending on the secret type. For more information, see Avaliando alertas da verificação de segredos.
