Secrets are the keys
to your kingdom

Every day, GitGuardian finds more than %secrets-scanned-in-a-day% hardcoded secrets in GitHub repositories.

Leaving secrets in source code, Jira tickets, and Slack threads gives attackers the freedom to move from one system to the next. Even worse, you may never know they were there or how they got in.

Automate secrets detection and reduce your exposure risk.

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.

GitGuardian efficiently supports a shift-left strategy. As a result, it has made things materially more secure. The ability to check for hardcoded secrets as part of pre-receive hooks is fantastic, as it helps identify issues before they reach the main codebase, and that was the ultimate goal for us.

The platform has helped to facilitate a better security culture within our organization. In addition to highlighting problems, it shows engineers how to properly remove hardcoded secrets, and provides advice on rotation.

We have definitely seen a return on investment when it finds things that are real. We have caught a couple of things before they made it to production, and had they made it to production, that would have been dangerous. For example, AWS secrets, if that ever got leaked, would have allowed people full access to our environment. Just catching two or three of those a year is our return on investment.

Overall, GitGuardian has also helped us develop a security-minded culture. We're serious about shift-left and getting better about code security. I think a lot of people in the organization are getting more mindful about what a hardcoded secret is.

Time to remediation is now in minutes or hours, whereas it used to take days or weeks previously. That's the biggest improvement. Because it is automated and visible to the author, someone from the security team doesn't have to remind them or recheck it. That means the slowdown in the deployment process has definitely been improved by an order of magnitude. There is easily a 30-hour improvement on time to remediation, which is about an 85 percent decrease.

The solution has reduced our mean time to remediation. We are down to less than a day. In the past, without context, knowing who made the commit, or kind of secret it was, sometimes it was taking us a lot longer to determine the impact and what actions needed to be taken.

Verified by

Security Engineer at a Tech Services Company

I can say that tracking down a hardcoded secret, getting it migrated out of source code, getting the secret rotated, and cleaning the Git history took much longer from commit until the full resolution before GitGuardian. We weren't notified until it was too late, but with GitGuardian, we know almost instantly.

Download solution brief

Sources SDLC coverage Detection Alerting Remediation Enterprise-ready

Source code and infrastructure-as-code

Continuously scan all public and private Git repositories listed under your GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, GitLab, or Bitbucket organizations. Infrastructure-as-code file configurations are also scanned for hardcoded secrets and sensitive environment variables.

Docker images

Scan your Docker images for hardcoded credentials before pushing them to public or private registries.

Developer productivity tools (coming soon)

Developers write more than code. Scan your Jira projects and Confluence wikis for hardcoded credentials.

Developer workstations

Set up pre-commit or pre-push hooks to scan source code on developer workstations with GitGuardian’s CLI, ggshield.

CI environments

Plug GitGuardian into your CI/CD and run secrets scanning automated tests in your pipeline.

Centralized Version Control Systems

Scan your Git repositories’ full history and continuously monitor all new contributions. GitGuardian integrates natively with GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, GitLab and Bitbucket.

Pull requests

Turn GitHub check runs on and scan every commit in your pull requests for hardcoded secrets.

High coverage with specific detectors

GitGuardian’s Mean-Time-To-Detect is a few seconds after the secret is publicly exposed.

Generic detectors

Capture JWT secrets, Bearer tokens, username/password pairs, and all types of high-entropy patterns not covered by specific detectors with GitGuardian’s “Paranoïd mode”.

Custom detectors

Define custom Regex rules for secrets specific to your organization.

High precision detection

Reduce alert fatigue with a 91% True Positive Rate (TPR) and multiple occurrences grouping.

GitGuardian performs contextual analysis of the surrounding code to discard false positives and weak matches.

When possible, GitGuardian also checks the validity of the hardcoded secrets with non-intrusive HTTP calls to the host.

Developer alerting

Developers are at the forefront of the issue of secret leaks. GitGuardian alerts the developers involved in the incidents alongside your Security team.

Integrations

Connect GitGuardian natively to your SIEM, ITSM, ticketing systems, messaging apps, or configure your webhooks.

Incident severity assignment

Assign a severity to each incident

Incident prioritization

Explore and triage your incidents with key context information (secret type, location, incident severity, number of occurrences, live presence in the git repository, secret validity).

Developer feedback collection

Generate unique links to collect developer feedback on incidents. Harness the involved developers’ knowledge to understand the nature of the incident and the security risks it poses.

Developer-driven remediation

Empower developers to fix hardcoded secrets and resolve their incidents under your supervision.

Automated workflows

Enable automated playbooks for incident details sharing and developer-led remediation.

Programmatic incident management

Manage incidents programmatically with GitGuardian’s REST API.

Self-hosted option

For organizations operating in highly regulated industries or organizations with strict data privacy requirements, GitGuardian can be deployed on-premises.

SSO

Single Sign-On functionality, compatible with any SAML 2.0 provider.

Audit logs

Get detailed activity logs of all actions triggered on the dashboard or through the REST API.

RBAC

Control user permissions in the GitGuardian dashboard with "Admin", "Member" and “Restricted” roles.

Hi 👋

Let us show you why developers and security leaders trust GitGuardian.

GitGuardian has also helped in bringing the responsibility of remediation to the entire team.

The biggest lesson we have used from using GitGuardian is that we should have started using it earlier.

Our ROI is in the fact that we have detected a lot of secrets that were publicly leaked

We feel safe because we don't have valid credentials sitting in our code repositories

It enables us to remediate issues as they happen in near real-time

Security team productivity has also increased.

We know that if someone is leaking something critical or a secret, it will be detected pretty fast by GitGuardian and we will be alerted in minutes

GitGuardian has increased our detection rate by a factor of 10 at least. And our mean time to remediation has been decreased

100% of our users are safer with GitGuardian detecting security incidents.

Best tool in the market to guard your Github.

The best tool for securing your repositories against secret loss

The scanning let us discover even more exposed secrets on private repos and helped us a lot with new security policies.

It never fails to notify me when I have accidentally exposed a secret , which unfortunately happens more than I'd like to admit.

GitGuardian Internal Monitoring has had a positive impact on our overall business objectives.

Low false-positives and immediate value.
