Spectral

Spectral is a DevSecOps security company that built tooling for detecting and preventing accidental exposure of secrets, API keys, and credentials in source code and development pipelines. The company was acquired by Check Point Software Technologies in 2022.

Spectral's primary product scans code repositories, CI/CD pipelines, and developer environments for unintentional leakage of credentials, API keys, passwords, and other secrets. It targets development and DevOps teams inside organizations, with integrations into Git workflows and common CI/CD toolchains.

Spectral operates in the Secrets Detection category, where it competes with companies such as GitGuardian and Trufflehog. The 2022 acquisition by Check Point folded Spectral's technology into Check Point's broader code security portfolio.
