What a finding tells you
Each finding also carries structured evidence with a versioned schema, so an
integration can parse it rather than scrape a description, and the discovery
channel that surfaced it.
Triage
Filter by severity to get to the credentials that open something important. Confidence is the second axis: a critical severity at low confidence is worth confirming with the fingerprint before you page anyone. Because the fingerprint is stable, you can match a finding against your own secret store to identify the exact key, then rotate it without ever needing Infrawatch to reveal the value.Work the finding
Secrets use the shared finding lifecycle: accept, resolve, ignore, mark false positive, or reopen. Resolve once the credential is rotated, not when the file is removed, because the exposed value stays valid until it is revoked. Reading secret findings requires theesi.findings.view scope, and applying
lifecycle actions requires esi.findings.manage.
