Infisical launches Honey Tokens for breach alerts
Infisical launched Honey Tokens, a new security feature that uses decoy AWS IAM access keys to detect credential abuse after secrets have already leaked. If someone tries to use a token, Infisical receives the signal through AWS logging and alerts teams so they can rotate nearby credentials quickly.
Sharp, practical security launch. This is less about preventing every leak and more about shrinking the detection window when prevention fails, which is the right problem to solve for secrets management.
- –Uses AWS IAM honey tokens as believable bait, which makes the trap harder to spot than vendor-hosted decoys.
- –Alerts are currently delivered by email, with Slack and PagerDuty support coming later.
- –The feature is available on Infisical Pro and Enterprise across cloud and self-hosted deployments.
- –The main limitation is scope: it starts with AWS and relies on customers doing the setup work in their own account.
