Secret scanning blocks Anthropic keys by default, adds Salesforce

Secret scanning now detects new secret types from Salesforce, Anthropic, and Cloudsmith, with the new Anthropic secret types blocked with push protection by default.

New secret scanning partner

Salesforce is now a secret scanning partner.

When a provider’s secret is found in a public repository, GitHub forwards it to the relevant partner so they can revoke or rotate the credential before it can be abused.

Partner secrets are automatically reported to the secret issuer when found in public repositories through the secret scanning partnership program. User secrets generate secret scanning alerts when found in public or private repositories.
