Praetorian’s Nosey Parker detects secrets in code>

Offensive cyber security company Praetorian has introduced Nosey Parker, a new module for its recently announced Chariot Platform.

Machine learning-powered, Nosey Parker is a multi-phase solution that enables application security engineers, cloud security engineers, site reliability engineers, and developers to detect secrets in code. The scanner consists of a pure regular expression (regex) pattern matcher, a ML-based de-noiser to eliminate false positives, and a powerful, standalone ML scanner which is not limited by any predefined set of patterns.

The solution also has a significantly higher signal-to-noise ratio than many other alternatives, Praetorian says. âWith the ML de-noiser, false positives are all but eliminated. Moreover, the standalone ML-powered scanner has the ability to find secrets that are difficult or impossible to write precise patterns for.â

Last week, Praetorian released Chariot, a total attack lifecycle solution featuring an intelligent attack surface management (ASM) platform and offensive security managed service.

Using automation and artificial intelligence, the Chariot platform identifies attack surface exposure points using both outside-in (adversarial) and inside-out (cloud-integration) knowledge to prioritise risk.
