Secure every stage of the AI value chain.

GitGuardian protects your organization across the entire AI value chain, from vibe coding in Cursor and Windsurf to autonomous agents running in production.

AI agents are accelerating secrets sprawl, and attackers know it

The explosion of agentic AI is reshaping your attack surface. Managing this attack surface has become the biggest challenge for security engineers.

Developers using AI coding assistants like Cursor, Windsurf, etc., are generating code at a faster pace than ever, and also hardcoding secrets at a rapid rate.

Meanwhile, autonomous AI agents running on platforms like Zapier, Make.com, and n8n require powerful credentials to function, creating a massive new NHI attack vector.

The AI value chain challenge

Vibe Coding Risk

Non-technical users and developers generate code with AI assistants, often embedding API keys, tokens, and credentials directly in the output without understanding the security implications.

LLM Exposure

Secrets sent to LLMs for context can be logged, cached, or inadvertently exposed. Even "private" LLMs aren't immune to prompt injection attacks that extract sensitive credentials.

AI Agent Sprawl

Autonomous agents run on both platforms (Zapier, Make.com) and locally on developer machines. Devs now run MCP servers and AI services that require elevated privileges, creating a massive attack surface.

Decentralized Development

The way we ship and operate apps has fundamentally changed. Dev laptops now house more secrets and more powerful secrets, with credentials for AI tools, MCP servers, and locally running models creating high-value targets.

The GitGuardian approach

While LLMs are improving at preventing hardcoded secrets, this doesn't address the broader challenge: secrets are mismanaged everywhere, not just in code.

GitGuardian provides the comprehensive inventory you need to see all secrets, in code, on endpoints, in AI agents and govern them effectively.

Prevent Secrets in Vibe Coding IDEs

Whether your developers use Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, or any AI coding assistant, GitGuardian's ggshield CLI and VS Code extension provide real-time secrets detection at the point of creation.

Secure Developer Endpoints

Developer endpoints are the new perimeter. GitGuardian scans laptops for all secrets and deploys via MDM across your workforce. Detect over-privileged credentials, production secrets on developer machines, and get complete visibility for incident response.

Manage AI Agent NHIs & Shadow AI

Autonomous AI agents on Zapier, Make.com, n8n, and Dust require powerful credentials and proliferate at machine speed as shadow IT. GitGuardian identifies which agents exist, the credentials they use, the systems they access, and tracks their full lifecycle.

Redact Secrets Before LLM Calls

When developers or AI agents call LLMs (OpenAI, Claude, Mistral, Bedrock), secrets in code snippets or configs can be exposed to third-party APIs. GitGuardian's roadmap includes proxy-based redaction to ensure credentials never reach the LLM.

Detect Secrets Across Your SDLC

AI coding assistants generate code at unprecedented speed and push it to GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps just as fast. GitGuardian monitors every commit, pull request, CI/CD pipeline, and container image for exposed secrets before they reach production.

Here’s how we are helping them

GitGuardian has absolutely supported our shift-left strategy. We want all of our security tools to be at the source code level and preferably running immediately upon commit. GitGuardian supports that. We get a lot of information on every secret that gets committed, so we know the full history of a secret.

Secure your AI agents before attackers exploit them
