GitGuardian

The new ways of building software create the necessity to support new vulnerabilities and new remediation workflows. These needs have emerged so abruptly that they have given rise to a young and highly fragmented DevSecOps tooling market. Solutions are specialized based on the type of vulnerabilities being addressed: SAST, DAST, IAST, RASP, SCA, Secrets Detection, Container Security, and Infrastructure as Code Security. However, the market is fragmented and tools are not well-integrated into the developers’ workflow. GitGuardian, founded in 2017 by Jérémy Thomas and Eric Fourrier, has emerged as the leader in secrets detection and is now focused on providing a holistic code security platform while enabling the Shared Responsibility Model of AppSec. The company has raised a $56M total investment to date. With more than 150K installs, GitGuardian is the n°1 security application on the GitHub Marketplace. Its enterprise-grade features truly enable AppSec and Development teams in a collaborative manner to deliver a secret-free code. Its detection engine is based on 350 detectors able to catch secrets in both public and private repositories and containers at every step of the CI/CD pipeline.
