Overall Satisfaction with GitGuardian Public Monitoring

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.

GitGuardian public monitoring should be set up in all public repositories. It's free for open-source repositories, so it's a no-brainer to use it. The private offering is the same, but it protects your private repositories as well. Even though the private code isn't open source and readable by everyone, hard-coded credentials may still leak depending on the application type and configuration.
