Detect identity threats early. Respond before damage is done.
GitGuardian empowers security teams with preemptive ITDR for non-human identities—combining prevention through real-time secrets security with instant intrusion alerts via honeytokens.
Okta's source code stolen after GitHub repositories hacked
Okta, a leading provider of authentication services and IAM solutions, says that its private GitHub repositories were hacked.
CircleCI security alert: Rotate any secrets stored in CircleCI
On December 29, 2022, we were alerted to suspicious GitHub OAuth activity by one of our customers.
Shai Hulud Attack on GitHub: A Potential Cyber Nightmare
A massive security breach, in which critical secrets were exposed across multiple GitHub repositories, threatening organizational security.
Prevention Over Reaction
Traditional ITDR solutions wait for behavioral anomalies—detecting human usage of non-human identities (a key OWASP Top 10 item for NHIs) only after an attacker has gained access and started performing malicious actions. By the time a behavioral anomaly is detected, the damage may already be done.
Prevent NHI exposure
GitGuardian automates the detection and remediation of hardcoded secrets across every component of your supply chain: source control, CI/CD pipelines, container registries, and collaboration tools. By preventing NHI exposure in the first place, you dramatically reduce your attack surface.

GitGuardian honeytokens are decoy NHI credentials strategically placed throughout yourDevOps ecosystem. When an attacker attempts to use them, you receive immediate, high-fidelity alerts with zero false positives—turning the tables on attackers before they can dodamage.
Be the first to arrive on the scene

When a honeytoken is triggered, GitGuardian provides rich contextual intelligence for rapidinvestigation and response—reducing Mean-Time-To-Detect to minutes instead of days orweeks.

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.
