GitGuardian Secrets Detection More detectors = more secrets caught.
Every detector has its comprehensive ID card in the public documentation, outlining the secret type, its intended usage and scope, and detailed steps for revocation.
If you haven't activated these detectors yet, go to your workspace's secrets detection settings page and turn them on to keep your secrets safe.
When we think of hardcoded secrets, we usually think of source code, build pipelines, and container images.
Developers can also expose secrets in productivity and messaging tools like Slack channels or Jira tickets, introducing a unique visibility challenge for security teams.
At GitGuardian, we ensure that improving our detection engine goes hand in hand with making it easier for your teams to sort and fix these incidents.
Contrary to other secret detection providers relying on a one-dimensional severity evaluation based on the secret type, GitGuardian automatically evaluates the context, type, validity, and public exposure, among other incident metadata, before assigning an accurate severity score.
To date, our engine has scored the severity of over 4.9 million exposed secret incidents spanning 400 thousand workspaces, covering both free and business accounts.
GitGuardian offers flexibility, allowing users to override and edit the 15 out-of-the-box severity scoring rules or even craft their own.
Learn about their journey from open-source tools to adopting GitGuardian for seamless, integrated secret scanning, enhancing DevSecOps with a 'Secure by Default' approach.
We were the first to release automated validity checks for secrets more than two years ago with a strong intuition that it would help our users prioritize incidents based on whether the secrets are still exploitable or reachable and for security teams to verify the claims of developers that a hardcoded secret has been appropriately handled.
It provides a comprehensive view of where a secret has been publicly leaked by listing up to 10 places and their URLs.
Secrets found to be of any status other than invalid and exposed outside your perimeter exactly once are flagged with a `CRITICAL` severity level.
In case of a secret exposure in specific service repositories, alerts can be efficiently directed to the involved developers via the appropriate communication channels.
GitGuardian users can combine multiple alerting integrations in the same workspace in this way.
Now, developers with a GitGuardian account can access their incidents and directly submit their comments and observations in-app.
This is why we now enable you to create remediation steps in GitGuardian, which every developer should follow to stay in line with your organization's processes for incident response.
This year marked the beta and general availability announcement of GitGuardian Honeytoken, a one-of-a-kind solution to protect your software delivery pipeline components.
