Gitguardian

GitGuardian is an application security platform focused on detecting and managing secrets and other sensitive information across the software development lifecycle. It continuously scans source code, repositories, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code to identify exposed credentials, API keys, and other non-human identities (NHIs) before they lead to security incidents. Available as SaaS or self-hosted, GitGuardian is designed to integrate into existing development workflows and security programs without disrupting productivity.

The platform provides real-time monitoring of public and private repositories, including GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and other version control systems. It features advanced secret detection based on pattern matching, entropy analysis, and context-aware algorithms, significantly reducing false positives. GitGuardian includes incident management workflows, alerting, and policy enforcement, enabling security and platform teams to triage, prioritize, and remediate exposures efficiently. It also offers dashboards and reporting to track security posture over time, as well as integrations with SIEM, ticketing, and collaboration tools for centralized governance.
