PrivKeyGate

PrivKeyGate is a web app + lightweight agent that continuously finds, classifies, and rotates database credentials and API keys that end up scattered across CI logs, app configs, Kubernetes secrets, and developer laptops. It focuses on the ugly reality: most breaches start with a long-lived credential that nobody owns anymore. The product scans common sources (Git providers, CI/CD artifacts, container registries, secret stores), maps each secret to the database roles it can access, and enforces short-lived access by integrating with your identity provider and database authentication methods. When it detects risky patterns (shared accounts, over-privileged roles, credentials used from new geos/IPs), it can automatically revoke/rotate and open a ticket with exact remediation steps. It’s not a full SIEM and won’t pretend to replace one; it’s a narrow, high-signal tool that security and platform teams can deploy without months of tuning.
