Summary

Twilio has integrated with GitHub Token Scanning to build Git Guard, a service that notifies developers if they've committed their Twilio Account SID and Auth Token to a public repository on GitHub. This is done to prevent accidental credential leaks and protect against fraudsters and hackers who can exploit exposed API keys. The goal of this integration is to provide a safer developer experience and make it easier for developers to focus on shipping product and delighting customers.
