As attackers increasingly target NHIs like service accounts, service principals, AI agents, and applications, protecting the credentials they rely on has become critical. GitGuardian's platform is built on three pillars: Secrets Security, NHI Governance, and Developer Endpoint Protection. \*\*Secrets Security\*\* eliminates leaks across every environment. Internal Secrets Monitoring detects hardcoded credentials in source code, CI/CD pipelines, container images, and collaboration tools like Slack, Jira, and Confluence with 500+ purpose-built detectors and a false positive rate under 10%. Public Secrets Monitoring scans 1B+ public GitHub commits daily, alerting teams the moment a secret is exposed externally. Honeytokens deploy decoy credentials that trigger immediate alerts on unauthorized access attempts. \*\*NHI Governance\*\* provides a centralized inventory of machine identities, including those outside vaults, with ownership attribution, risk scoring, and compliance evidence to support access reviews and rotation policy configuration. \*\*Developer Endpoint Protection\*\* extends coverage to the credential layer that repo and CI scanning can't reach: developer laptops. GitGuardian scans project directories, .env files, cloud credential stores, AI agent configs, and shell history across the entire fleet, delivering a prioritized inventory of exposed secrets by machine and severity. Trusted by Snowflake, ING, BASF, Datadog, Webflow, Bouygues Telecom, and more, and the #1 most-installed security app on the GitHub Marketplace. * * * Product Website GitGuardian Seller [GitGuardian](https://www.g2.com/sellers/gitguardian-c1eb71ef-0ed6-4024-9679-56d9bee1fe3e) Discussions [GitGuardian Community](https://www.g2.com/products/gitguardian/discuss) Languages Supported English Solution Type Best-of-Breed Overview by Marco FLORES MONTOYA Show More ## Pricing Pricing provided by GitGuardian. ### GitGuardian Secrets Detection – Free $0.00 [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/gitguardian/pricing) ## GitGuardian Integrations (8) What do users say about integrations?
