GitHub Exam GitHub-Advanced-Security Topic 3 Question 7 Discussion

Actual exam question for GitHub's GitHub-Advanced-Security exam
Question #: 7
Topic #: 3
[All GitHub-Advanced-Security Questions]

-- [Configure and Use Secret Scanning]

Which of the following secret scanning features can verify whether a secret is still active?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Validity checks, also called secret validation, allow GitHub to check if a detected secret is still active. If verified as live, the alert is marked as 'valid', allowing security teams to prioritize the most critical leaks.

Push protection blocks secrets but does not check their validity. Custom patterns are user-defined and do not include live checks.

Wait, is this a trick question? I mean, who needs validity checks when you can just ask the secrets themselves if they're still active? *winks at the camera*

Custom patterns, huh? Now that's a feature that could really let us get creative with our secret scanning. Time to put on my secret decoder ring!

Ooh, validity checks? That's a feature I haven't heard of before. Sounds like it could really come in handy to make sure those secrets are still good to go!
