Proactively detecting and rotating exposed secrets

Despite best efforts, it’s nearly impossible to completely prevent secrets from being leaked. Secrets can end up exposed in many places, such as source code repositories, issue tracking systems, and chat logs. That’s why it’s crucial to proactively monitor for exposed secrets across all software development tools. GitGuardian was built to integrate very early in the SDLC (when leaks are easier to mitigate) inside the Git flow, with native SCM integration, and also in build pipelines. This allows the implementation of a defense-in-depth strategy, reducing the risk of a secret being exposed publicly.

GitGuardian also groups findings across the SDLC into incidents, which can identify the same secret leaked in source code, in a build pipeline, inside one or multiple repositories, and by one or multiple people. This is extremely important to help quickly understand the risk posed by the leak and evaluate the possible...
