How many of your secrets?

Even if your company doesn't do open source, chances are your developers do. And they may be unintentionally leaking your corporate secrets or source code on their personal GitHub repos - without your knowledge.

Trusted by security leaders and enterprises worldwide

Prospects and customers conduct cybersecurity and privacy risk assessments to identify, evaluate, and contract with software vendors. Cover your organization from the risks associated with public GitHub, build trust, and accelerate sales with GitGuardian.

What I have found to be very effective with GitGuardian is that we can analyze the history of Talend-related alerts on the entire GitHub perimeter, whether they are our official repositories or any public directory outside the control of Talend. What was very interesting and what we didn't anticipate was that most of leaked secrets came from the personal code repositories of our developers.

Partnering with MSPs introduces potential third-party attack surfaces and unanticipated organizational risks. Proactively manage your risk on public GitHub and keep your customers’ secrets and sensitive data out of sight.

Most DLPs would put the burden of defining the perimeter on us. GitGuardian is different, it takes care of all the hard work. We now have full visibility over what’s happening on public GitHub and with real-time alerting, we can take action before it’s too late.

Compromised secrets on public GitHub give attackers easy, authorized access to your IT systems and internals. Equip your Threat Intel teams with GitGuardian's real-time GitHub monitoring and stay ahead of attackers.

If a colleague in security at another company were to say to me that secrets detection is not a priority, I'd ask them why that's the case. Arguably, secrets in source code are a very large risk, especially given its distributed nature. People may be using different kinds of machines to do their work, and we need to make sure that sensitive data is kept out of public GitHub.

Download solution brief

Organization repositories monitoring

Monitor the official public repositories listed under your GitHub organization.

Developers’ personal repositories monitoring

Monitor developers’ personal public repositories – this is where 80% of corporate credentials are leaked on public GitHub. GitGuardian identifies under-the-radar activity by automatically linking developers, public commits, and repositories you may be unaware of to your organization’s dynamic perimeter.

Specific detectors

GitGuardian's specific detectors support 350+ API providers, database connection strings, SMTP credentials, certificates...

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".

High precision detection

Reduce alert fatigue with a 91% True Positive Rate (TPR) and the grouping of multiple instances of the same incident in one alert.

GitGuardian performs contextual analysis of the surrounding code to discard false positives and weak matches. When possible, GitGuardian also checks the validity of the detected secrets with non-intrusive HTTP calls to the host.

Keyword match

Track keywords on public GitHub to look for your organization’s internal project names, reserved IP addresses range, domain names, or any other type of sensitive data.

Explore – GitHub search

Use Explore, GitGuardian’s search engine to scour more than 12 billion documents on public GitHub for sensitive data. Save your queries in your library and schedule periodic runs.

Real-time alerting

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

Developer alerting

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

Integrations

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

Incident severity assignment

Start from templates and create custom rules to automate incident severity assignment.

Incident prioritization

Explore and triage your incidents with key context information: secret type, location (repository and files), incident severity, number of occurrences, live presence on GitHub, 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 its potential impact on your company or client systems.

Programmatic incident handling

Manage incidents programmatically with a REST API.

SSO

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

Audit logs

Browse detailed activity logs of all actions triggered on the dashboard or through GitGuardian’s REST API.

Roles and permissions

Control user permissions in the GitGuardian dashboard with "Admin" and "Member" roles.

Hi 👋

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

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.
The solution helped to decrease the overall false positive rate.
We have around 110 repositories and if we had to remove something one-by-one it would be very hard, but with this solution we can do so from all of them at the same time, which saves us months—not even days—but months.
GitGuardian is a better choice than an open source solution if you are serious about preventing leaks on GitHub.
GitGuardian is my favorite security tool. It is a joy to use and so effective.
We have also used the dev in the loop feature and it works well when it comes to remediating an incident. For collaboration between developers and security teams it's very good.
GitGuardian has increased our detection rate by a factor of 10 at least. And our mean time to remediation has been decreased.
With the search keyword capability, we have good surveillance over our potential blind spots.
