GitGuardian vs. SecureLink Enterprise Access

I do think it'll absolutely fit everyone who codes integrates with another platform or services. We all forget that one credentials one in a while, and especially those who managed public repository, it is important to keep an eye on accidentally committed credentials. While I think you don't really needs it for personal project, it's a nice to have, you don't want to waie up to 50k USD of sudden surcharge on resources you don't use.

It does exactly what it needs to. The only times I've had serious issues with rolling out to a vendor is when they have a "contractual agreement" to only use their solution. Almost every vendor that I've worked with and shown this product to has been skeptical for the first 5 minutes and fully converted to liking the ease of use of the product by 10 minutes

• GitGuardian monitors every public or private GitHub commit ( that have GitGuardian installed) and event in real-time for secrets and sensitive data. In a leak scenario it immediately notifies us.
• It uses sophisticated pattern matching techniques to detect credentials that cannot be strictly defined with a distinctive pattern (like unprefixed credentials)
• It covers several API providers, database connection strings, private keys, certificates, usernames and passwords etc
• GitGuardian have high True Positive Rate of around 91% and reduces alert fatigue with smart occurrences regrouping

• Easy to setup on a client PC or server for access
• Organizes client connections by gatekeeper so it is easy to find what you need
• File transfer option is great for uploading files to client servers

• Improved user interface: It would be beneficial to have a more intuitive and user-friendly interface for Internal Monitoring on GitGuardian. This would make it easier for users to quickly access the data they need and understand the results of their scans.
• Automated alerts: It would be helpful to have automated alerts when certain conditions are met, such as when a scan reveals sensitive data or when a new repository is created. This would help users stay informed and take action in a timely manner.
• More detailed reports: Currently, Internal Monitoring reports are limited in terms of the depth of information they provide. It would be useful to have more detailed reports that include additional metrics, such as the number of repositories scanned and the types of sensitive data found.
• Faster scan times: Scan times can be slow at times, making it difficult to stay on top of changes in repositories quickly. It would be beneficial to have faster scan times so that users can take action quickly when needed.

• Java based. Always an issue. I know they are working on this and it will be Javaless if we need it. I know that Java can cause issues across the board and I understand the need of it, but it does not make it any better when there are Java issues.
• Stronger integration with the Active Directory. Currently its only read-only, which is good and bad.
• I would love to see an App. I know they are working on this as well.

We are happy using securelink to access our client environments

The employees at Securelink have always been responsive and seem to be invested in the success of my company. They truly understand what their product means to us so if there is a problem, they are always willing to help. In the rare event that something is found on their end, they will be proactive and reach out to someone to help and get something on calendar for a fix

I've evaluated quite a few other tools, like git-secrets, Git-leaks, scan, and maybe a few more. They're all great but quite surprisingly none of them detected Github OAuth Secrets for us. A lot of the FOSS tools out there focus on much simpler, generic secrets, which is good in itself but with GitGuardian, it was dead simple from day one. I just connected our Github Account and set up the gg-shield cli and that was all.

Securelink seems to work better than LogMein for a large enterprise group. Our company has over 10,000 different connections and securelink manages them well.

• GitGuardian Internal Monitoring has had a positive impact on our overall business objectives. By providing visibility into our code repositories and alerting us to potential security risks, we have been able to identify and mitigate security issues before they become a problem. This has allowed us to focus more on developing our product and less on responding to security incidents. We have also seen an increase in customer confidence in our product as a result of using GitGuardian Internal Monitoring, which has led to increased customer loyalty and retention. Overall, the ROI of using GitGuardian Internal Monitoring has been very positive for our business.
• We have seen an increase in the security of our codebase, as well as an improvement in the speed and accuracy of our code reviews. This has enabled us to quickly identify and address any potential security issues before they become a problem. Additionally, we have seen an increase in our ROI as a result of using GitGuardian Internal Monitoring, as it has allowed us to save time and money by preventing costly security breaches.
• No more.

• I've found that Securelink allows me to get a vendor access to an application for support purposes much faster than a provisioned VPN account and the red tape around this. I can set up a vendor to access an application suite in a half hour and it will be more secure than regular provisioning.
• The ROI is yet to be seen on this, but it certainly makes Compliance, Internal Audit, and Legal very happy, which helps everybody.
• Internally, there is much more push back and it has been problematic. For a tech, to have to log in to a server and navigate to a system is considered cumbersome, when before all they had to do was open up Putty or RDP to a server to get in. The only way to combat this is to force them to use Securelink by removing rights. Near impossible for the domain admins.
