Protect users from leaking secrets in GitLab outside of codebases
## Overview Today, Secret Detection protects users from introducing new secrets into codebases. However, there are many other places where secrets could exist. See &8667 for additional context. This epic is intended to organize a number of potential improvements into one spot. This epic is tagged ~"group::secret detection" and ~"Category:Secret Detection" for tracking, but ownership and delivery of this work will be collaborative across multiple teams. As an example, [GitHub identifies a variety of sources](https://docs.github.com/en/developers/overview/secret-scanning-partner-program#create-a-secret-alert-service) where secrets can be found, including text blocks outside of codebases. ## Vision Our vision for this feature set is that secrets defined in Secret Detection OR Secret management could be detected, redacted and alerts created about in or outside of the code base (job logs, etc.)
