GitGuardian has introduced custom tags, empowering teams to manage and prioritize secrets incidents and Honeytokens better than ever. GitGuardian has always automatically applied certain predefined tags to help teams identify incidents where, for example, a secret was found in a Default branch, is in a sensitive file, or discovered from a historical scan, just to name a few options.

GitGuardian is helping reams respond to and remediate incidents more efficiently than ever, thanks to our new Enhanced email incident alerting controls. While you can configure GitGuardian alerts to integrate with servies like Slack, Teams, PagerDuty, and any other system that can work with JSON and webhooks, Email notifications are still the default way we send alerts.

We allow organizations to discover and remediate exposed Secrets as well as manage NHIs lifecycle across both their internal network and public perimeter (for ex over permissioned, stale secrets, secrets in multiple vaults…). Our unrivaled secrets detection engine is trained and backtested in real-time against +5Bn commits and used by more than 600k developers, it is also the n°1 app on the GitHub Market place. GitGuardian integrates natively with the SDLC (GitHub, Gitlab…) but also with other data sources such as Jira, Slack, ServiceNow, Docker, as secrets leak in all these environments.

GitGuardian is proud to introduce our new Machine Learning-powered Generic Secret Enricher, helping all customers quickly understand the origin and type of discovered generic secrets. The 2025 GitGuardian State of Secret Sprawl report shows that 58% of all detected secrets fall into the generic category.

GitGuardian's 2025 State of Secrets Sprawl Report reveals that nearly 24 million new hardcoded secrets were exposed on public GitHub in 2024 alone–a staggering 25% increase from the previous year. Together with Chris Smith from Cyberark, our expert panel dives deep into the report's most concerning findings.
