Secret scanning for private repositories is generally available!

Secret scanning for private repositories is now generally available for all GitHub Advanced Security customers on GitHub Enterprise Cloud. Since announcing the beta last year, we've:

• Expanded our pattern coverage from 24 partners to 37
• Added an API and webhooks
• Added notifications for commit authors when they commit secrets
• Updated the index view to made it easy to triage secrets in bulk
• Reduced the false positive rate on many patterns

We have lots more improvements planned for secret scanning, including support for custom patterns in June.
