Leaked API key? Stolen by an attacker? Accidentally committed to GitHub? • They try it from a new IP: Blocked. • From an unknown country: Blocked. • On a pricier model: Blocked. Meanwhile, an alert hits your Slack with the attacker's details and a single command to revoke access. Keman issues scoped, virtual API keys—making leaked credentials practically worthless. Open source & self-hosted.
