Supported Secret Types

SailPoint Entro detects and classifies secrets into two categories based on how specifically they can be identified.

Specific Secrets — Named, service-specific credentials tied to a known platform or provider, such as AWS Access Keys, GitHub tokens, or Stripe API keys.

Generic Secrets — Credentials that follow a general pattern without being tied to a specific provider, such as generic API keys, connection strings, or base64-encoded auth tokens.
