Introducing GitGuardian's New Auto-ignore False Positive Playbook
We are proud to announce our new Auto-ignore false positive playbook. We've added this new automated Playbook to the GitGuardian Secret Detection platform to eliminate false positives from your incident queue and help you focus on actionable alerts. In the summer of 2024, we released FP remover, our internal machine learning model, that can significantly reduce false positives by understanding code context and semantics. In our testing it eliminates up to 80% of false positives.
