User defined patterns for secret scanning – GitHub Checkout

GitHub Advanced Security customers can now specify custom patterns for secret scanning. When a new pattern is specified, secret scanning searches a repository’s entire git history for it, as well as any new commits. They can be defined at the repository and organization level.

User defined patterns are in beta on cloud and will be available on GHES shortly.
