GitGuardian monitors code repositories, CI/CD pipelines, and developer environments in real time to detect when secrets (API keys, passwords, tokens, certificates) are accidentally committed to code. It scans commits as they are pushed and alerts developers immediately before the secret can be exploited. Developers, DevSecOps teams, and security engineers use GitGuardian to prevent a common and costly security incident: leaked credentials in source code. It integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Jira to route alerts directly into the development workflow. GitGuardian monitors over 1 billion new code contributions daily across public and private repositories. Its historical scanning capability can audit existing repositories to find secrets that were committed in the past and may still be active.
