Snapsec Secret Scanner Integration with AIM

The Snapsec Secret Scanner integration allows AIM to ingest secrets, exposed credentials, tokens, and other sensitive findings detected inside your code repositories. This integration helps centralize secret exposure risks inside your asset inventory, linking each detected secret back to:
  • The repository
  • File path
  • Commit or branch
  • Secret type
  • Risk score
AIM then enriches these results with ownership, environment classification, and exposure context.

Prerequisites

Before enabling this integration, ensure you have:
  • Access to Snapsec Secret Scanner.
  • A valid API key for secret-scan exports.
  • Code repositories already scanned by Snapsec Secret Scanner (GitHub / GitLab / other repo sources).
  • AIM workspace permissions that allow integration installation.

Enable the Integration

  1. Go to AIM → Integrations.
  2. Locate Snapsec Secret Scanner in the integrations list.
  3. Click Install.
  4. Enter:
    • API Key from Snapsec Secret Scanner
    • (Optional) Repository identifiers or any workspace-specific config
  5. Click Save & Connect.
Once connected, AIM will begin receiving secret exposure results.

What This Integration Imports

AIM will import and map:
  • Secret type (API keys, tokens, credentials, service keys, etc.)
  • Repository details (name, owner, provider)
  • Affected file paths
  • Commit metadata
  • Risk scoring and classification
  • Detection timelines
Each imported secret becomes an asset-linked risk record inside AIM.

Sync Behavior

  • AIM checks Snapsec Secret Scanner periodically for new findings.
  • Newly detected secrets are added automatically.
  • Fixed / removed secrets can be marked as resolved.
  • Repository ownership is auto-linked using AIM’s classifier engine.

Troubleshooting

Invalid API Key

Ensure the API key is active and correctly copied.

No Data Appearing

Confirm your repositories were successfully scanned in Snapsec Secret Scanner.

Mapping Issues

Check classifier rules for repository ownership or tagging.
