Secrets Abuse Throttle

Secrets Abuse Throttle is a security anti-abuse control that slows or blocks suspicious repeated behavior for keys, tokens, and credentials. It uses rate limits, reputation signals, and challenge steps so teams can protect public access without a login wall while keeping evidence, reliability, and public-safe operational boundaries clear.

“The security team used Secrets Abuse Throttle when a secret appeared in logs, so the team could protect public access without a login wall before the risk review began.”
