GitGuardian

GitGuardian provides Non-Human Identity (NHI) security solutions focused on secrets detection and management across the software development lifecycle. The company's platform monitors code repositories, productivity tools, and development environments to detect exposed secrets such as API keys, passwords, and credentials that could lead to security breaches.

The platform includes three main product offerings: Internal Monitoring for scanning private repositories and codebases, Public Monitoring for detecting secrets leaked on public GitHub repositories, and NHI Governance for managing non-human identities. GitGuardian integrates with development workflows through tools like GitGuardian CLI (ggshield) and provides automated vulnerability detection and remediation capabilities.

Founded in 2017 in Paris by Eric Fourrier and Jérémy, the company started by collecting and analyzing public commits pushed to GitHub in real-time, discovering widespread secrets sprawl. GitGuardian has since expanded to serve enterprises with over 610,000 users and maintains offices in Paris, Boston, and New York with approximately 130 employees.

The company's detection engine scans for secrets across various stages of the development lifecycle, from code commits to production environments. GitGuardian also offers Honeytoken capabilities for deception-based security.

The platform is available through integrations with major development platforms and is recognized as the #1 app on GitHub Marketplace. GitGuardian has raised funding through Series A ($12 million) and Series B ($44 million) rounds from investors including Eurazeo, Balderton, and Sapphire Ventures.
