About GitGuardian

GitGuardian is a securing tool designed to monitor, detect, and manage secrets in software development life cycle (SDLC) and Non-Human Identities (NHIs). Serving as a governance tool for NHIs, it helps control and provide visibility of your NHIs capabilities. The tool is aimed at preserving security in code, repositories, and other tools by looking for secrets in their infrastructure. It provides internal and public secrets monitoring, allowing organizations to find, fix and prevent hardcoded secrets, and protect their external attack surface on platforms like GitHub. GitGuardian also offers Non-Human Identity governance, giving users full control and comprehensive visibility. Underlining its functionalities is the GitGuardian CLI, optimized for integration and its connection with various detectors. GitGuardian enables secure workflows with instant alerts for proactive security, preventing machine identities leaks via an effortless setup, smooth integration, and prompt alerts. Developers can make use of the ggshield command line tool for comprehensive secrets detection prior to code deployment. By syncing client-side scanning with monitoring, it bridges the gap between security and development teams, streamlining workflows and managing exceptions, auto ignore lists, and approvals. Ensuring continuous improvement, ggshield keeps a comprehensive incident history and learns from it to prevent alerts from recurring. It is available as a Software as a Service (SaaS) or self-hosted system.
