Product Information on GitGuardian Platform

Updated 28th January 2023

What is GitGuardian Platform?

GitGuardian Internal Monitoring helps organizations detect and fix vulnerabilities in source code at every step of the software development lifecycle. With GitGuardian’s policy engine, security teams can monitor and enforce rules across their VCS, DevOps tools, and infrastructure-as-code configurations. Its detection engine is trained against more than a billion public GitHub commits every year, and it covers 350+ types of secrets such as API keys, database connection strings, private keys, certificates, and more. GitGuardian brings security and development teams together with automated remediation playbooks and collaboration features to resolve incidents fast and in full. By pulling developers closer to the remediation process, organizations can achieve higher incident closing rates and shorter fix times. Widely adopted by developer communities, GitGuardian is used by more than 200 thousand developers.

GitGuardian Platform Pricing

GitGuardian Internal Monitoring prices a yearly fee based on the number of developers included in the surveillance perimeter. The subscription is free for teams below 25 developers. Above 25 developers the price is 18$ per month per active developer included in the surveillance perimeter.

Reviewer Insights for: GitGuardian Platform

GitGuardian Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

the interface and the buttons are really feasible. The behaviour of the software is human friendly

Like

The best coverage of secret patterns with respect to other vendors and additionally the ability to add your own regular expressions to cover 'company secrets'. GitGuardian support is always happy to help with any aspect of implementation.

Like

Ease of use. The UX was spot on. How easy it was to investigate things when it comes to secrets. Technical documentation was up to date.

Dislike

sometimes the software is not so speed, it is better to improve the reduction of steps

Dislike

It's hard to find a downside because even the prices are competitive. The only thing missing is the probability of a secret.

Dislike

I would say that the ticketing system when it comes to alerts could be better, I couldn't be more granular about it. Some UX areas like how secrets are leaked and displayed on the dashboard didn't fit my way of working. Sometimes it felt that there were lots of false positives on the dashboard.

    GitGuardian and Monitoring for SOC Analysts

    5.0
    Oct 22, 2024
    I was part of the IT Security team that helped to assess the GitGuardian product used by our developer team. What surprised me was the ease of use when it came to GitGuardian. As a SOC analyst, I could triage and investigate things quickly. Regarding integrations, GitGuardian provided good documentation and it seeme that developers had an easy chance to implement it. The service was good. They had calls with the team to se if they can help anyhow.
