GitGuardian

GitGuardian is a code security platform that finds and fixes hardcoded secrets in your source code. It keeps your software development on the right track by constantly scanning your Git repositories for sensitive information like API keys, passwords, certificates and encryption keys.

GitGuardian is designed to help Dev, Sec and Ops teams work together to protect their software development lifecycle. The company uses high-efficiency detection techniques that have scanned more than 3 billion commits to public GitHub repositories since 2018, a process that produces fast and reliable results without causing too much trouble.

Some of GitGuardian's features include:

• Customizable secret detectors: Use built-in or custom detectors to fine-tune your scans to your organization's needs.
• Precise real-time detection: Don't miss anything with real-time alerts that let you take action before it's too late.
• Remediation tools: Bring developer and security teams together with shared data for deeper investigation and remediation.
• Internal and public monitoring: Monitor internal and public repositories to catch secrets before they're leaked.
• DevOps integrations: Integrate with your CI/CD pipeline to ensure secure code is deployed.

Developers can automatically scan their code, get alerts when secrets are found, and take remediation actions to minimize disruption. Security teams can respond to high-fidelity alerts to reduce the likelihood of secrets exposure and share remediation responsibilities with developers. Cloud Operations can ensure secure code is deployed by default, integrating GitGuardian into their pipeline to scan Git repositories for secrets.

GitGuardian can also be used for internal monitoring, finding hardcoded secrets in private repositories and stopping them from being leaked. It also has features like fighting alert fatigue, catching secrets early and keeping developers informed during the incident response process.

Pricing isn't disclosed, but you can try the service with a free trial. More than 200,000 developers use GitGuardian, so it's clearly caught on in the software development world.

By adding GitGuardian to your development process, you can keep your codebase secure and private, and avoid the risks of secrets exposure and security problems.
