Surface exposed credentials

surface-exposed-credentials​

Overview​

This workflow automates the comprehensive process of identifying and handling exposed credentials within an organization. It integrates multiple tools and services to retrieve leaked credentials, perform AI-enhanced analysis, create structured reports, manage JIRA tickets, and deliver notifications through multiple channels efficiently.

How It Works​

  1. ASM Data Retrieval: Initiates the process by fetching exposed credential data from the Attack Surface Management (ASM) system.

  2. AI-Enhanced Processing: Applies AI analysis to organize and format the retrieved credential data for better clarity and actionable insights.

  3. Parallel Processing Execution: Splits the workflow into three concurrent branches for maximum efficiency:

    Branch A - JIRA Integration:

    • JIRA Ticket Creation: Generates a structured issue in JIRA to track the exposed credentials incident
    • AI Content Formatting: Enhances the JIRA ticket content with AI-formatted summaries and recommendations
    • JIRA Attachment: Attaches the credential data file to the created JIRA issue for reference
    • Slack Text Formatting: Prepares formatted notification content for team communication
    • Primary Slack Notification: Sends detailed alert to the designated Slack channel about the new JIRA task

    Branch B - Credential Validation:

    • Credential Processing: Executes validation scripts to verify and analyze the exposed credentials
    • Authentication Verification: Performs login checks to assess the current validity of exposed credentials
    • Secondary Slack Alert: Delivers real-time validation results to Slack for immediate awareness

    Branch C - Report Generation:

    • PDF Report Creation: Generates a comprehensive structured report summarizing all findings and analysis results

Who is this for?​

  • Security teams managing exposed credentials and data breaches
  • IT administrators overseeing credential integrity and incident response
  • Compliance officers requiring detailed documentation of credential exposure incidents
  • Organizations seeking to streamline security incident management with automated workflows

What problem does this workflow solve?​

  • Eliminates manual credential leak investigation by automating detection, validation, and documentation processes
  • Ensures consistent incident handling through standardized JIRA ticketing and comprehensive reporting
  • Provides real-time team awareness through dual Slack notification channels for different workflow stages
  • Reduces response time to credential exposure incidents through parallel processing and immediate validation checks
  • Creates audit trails with structured documentation for compliance and post-incident analysis
