Finding Leaked AWS Credentials Before Attackers Do

A database password in a Lambda environment variable. An API key committed to a GitHub repository, public or not. An access key hardcoded into a script that got copied between projects a few times. None of these are exotic mistakes, they're some of the most common ways real AWS accounts get compromised, and they're rarely caught by looking at infrastructure configuration alone, since the secret isn't a misconfigured setting, it's a value sitting somewhere it shouldn't be.

Finding these before an attacker does means scanning the places they actually end up: application code and its history in GitHub repositories, and live resources like EC2 instances, Lambda functions, and ECS task definitions where a secret sometimes gets pasted directly into an environment variable because it was the fastest way to get something working. Different surfaces, same underlying risk, and a scanner that only checks one of them misses the other.

KloudSec scans both: source code and repository history on GitHub, and live cloud resources across EC2, Lambda, and ECS. A finding doesn't just say "a secret was found here", it comes with guidance on what to do next: rotate the credential and move it to a real secrets manager, not leave it in plaintext with a different name.
