GitGuardian is an end-to-end NHI security platform designed to help organizations strengthen their Non-Human Identity (NHI) security posture and address compliance standards and regulations. As attackers increasingly target NHIs, such as service accounts, service principals, and applications, protecting and managing these critical assets has become paramount. NHIs rely on “secrets” like API keys and certificates for authentication, and their rapid proliferation has led to significant secrets sprawl.
GitGuardian’s platform is built on two core pillars: Secrets Security and NHI Governance, delivering a holistic approach to NHI security.
With Secrets Security, GitGuardian aims to eliminate leaks and sprawl, detecting compromised or misused secrets across both public and internal environments. This foundation of NHI security is strengthened by monitoring for incidents, policy violations, and illegitimate use of secrets. GitGuardian offers three powerful products under its Secrets Security umbrella.
GitGuardian’s Secrets Detection tackles internal secrets sprawl by identifying sensitive data in source code and developer productivity tools. The platform supports over 420 types of secrets, including API keys, private keys, and database credentials. With a robust policy engine, security teams can enforce rules across major version control systems (VCSs) like GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, and Azure DevOps, CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, Travis CI as well as tools like Slack, Jira, container registries, and more.
GitGuardian Public Monitoring scans public GitHub repositories, detecting sensitive information in both organizational and developers' public personal repos. This is crucial, as 80% of corporate secrets leaked on public GitHub stem from personal accounts.
GitGuardian Honeytoken deploys decoy secrets that lure attackers looking for active secrets across your assets. Any unauthorized access attempts will trigger immediate alerts, enabling rapid detection and response during the software development lifecycle.
With NHI Governance, GitGuardian offers a centralized inventory of secrets, tracking their context and usage. This enables teams to detect high-risk secrets, manage their rotation, and leverage analytics to enhance the overall NHI security posture. Together, Secrets Security and NHI Governance work symmetrically: one track focuses on detecting compromised secrets, while the other manages legitimate usages of secrets and their lifecycle.
Trusted by over 600,000 developers and recognized as the top security app on GitHub Marketplace, GitGuardian is the choice of leading organizations like Snowflake, ING, BASF, and Bouygues Telecom, ensuring robust protection for their sensitive secrets.
