What is GitGuardian Public Monitoring?
GitGuardian Public Monitoring allows real-time GitHub scanning and alerting to uncover sensitive company information hiding in online repositories. It monitors both organization repositories and developers' personal repositories. The solution gives visibility to developers and security teams on this very critical blindspot that are the organization developers' personal repositories on GitHub (80% of leaked corporate secrets on public GitHub come from developers’ personal repositories).
GitGuardian Public Monitoring can be used by companies with large development teams (above 200 developers) and modern development practices.
GitGuardian Public Monitoring cover 250+ API providers, database connection strings, private keys, certificates, usernames and passwords and intellectual property. It uses pattern matching techniques to detect credentials that cannot be strictly defined with a distinctive pattern (like unprefixed credentials). The algorithm boasts precision, 91% “true positive” feedback following alerts, as reported by users, according to the vendor.
The alerting is done in real-time (a few seconds after the secret was publicly exposed) to enable fast remediation involving in a collaborative way developers, security teams and operations.

GitGuardian helps us to protect our code from leaking any sensitive information like passwords, API keys, tokens or accidental push of .env files. These are called secrets and they can be very dangerous if they fall into the wrong hands. Hackers can use them to access our data, servers, or accounts and cause a lot of damage.We use GitGuardian Public Monitoring to scan our code repositories and alert us if it finds any secrets that should not be there. It also integrates with our development tools like GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket, so we can easily fix any issues before they become a problem. We also customize the rules and policies to suit our needs and preferences. And trust me guys GitGuardian sometimes make us lazy 😁 coz we know that any accidental push of secret will be handled by GitGuardian.
- 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
- First I would like to add is sometimes it makes false alert, like a normal written text. While this is rare but it causes distractions.
- Second thing is pricing is somewhat not so much clear, it is bit confusing to know in what price what features I will get.
- While alerts are good but It does not have a user-friendly interface for managing the alerts and incidents.

Low false-positives and immediate value
GitGuardian helps us address the problem of credentials being committed to our code repositories. Whether it's accidentally not excluding an environment file or not realizing the severity of hard-coding secrets, GitGuardian has been there to help us identify leaked secrets as soon as it happens. I have tried other tools in the past, but GitGuardian seems to be the most effective in terms of low false positives and low false negatives.
- Breadth of coverage for different types of secrets.
- Low false positives.
- Low false negatives.
- Pre-commit scanning functionality.
- Adding custom detectors.
- Secret detection.
- Timely alerts.
- GitHub integration.
- Risk reduction.
- Achieving zero hard-coded credentials.
GitGuardian has more secret type definitions than any similar offering, yet it has an extremely low false-positive rate and won't waste your time.
