{% data variables.product.prodname_secret_scanning_caps %} is automatically enabled on public repositories, where it scans code for secrets, to check for known secret formats. When a match of your secret format is found in a public repository, {% data variables.product.company_short %} doesn't publicly disclose the information as an alert, but instead sends a payload to an HTTP endpoint of your choice. For an overview of how secret scanning works on public repositories, see "[Secret scanning](/developers/overview/secret-scanning)."
