Security challenges faced by public sector agencies around the world

Sensitive data exposure

Detecting and remediating secrets in code is crucial as they may give access to sensitive information, which, if leaked, could compromise national security or public trust.

Implementation of zero trust

Public sector agencies must adopt zero trust models, ensuring meticulous secrets management for safeguarding both human-to-machine and machine-to-machine interactions.

Complex attack surfaces

Public sector agencies are prime targets for cyberattacks due to their large, interconnected systems. A vulnerability can impact multiple departments, increasing risk and damage.

Software supply chain security

Agencies must ensure vendors comply with NIST SSDF standards and provide Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) as per OMB Memorandum requirements.

Risks of AI-generated code

AI-generated code from tools like Copilot may introduce unvetted dependencies and secrets, creating potential security risks if not monitored properly.

How does GitGuardian help public sector agencies around the world?

Deploy with flexibility and scalability

Self-hosted, air-gapped deployment: Deploy on-premises in a fully air-gapped environment, meeting stringent security requirements of public sector agencies.

Enterprise-grade features: Supports CAC/PIV authentication, granular user and team RBACs, audit logs, and extensive REST API and analytics integrations.

Securing artifacts and updates: GitGuardian uses Chainguard which ensures zero-CVEs, reduces image size by 33%, and delivers quick, verified updates, achieving FIPS and SLSA compliance for our high-security customers.

Scalable monitoring: Monitor thousands of developers and repositories per instance in real-time, ensuring robust protection across large development teams.

Identify and eliminate secrets exposure

Comprehensive detection: Detect and categorize over %ndet% types of secrets, including custom detectors for self-hosted internal services that government agencies use.

Secrets detection beyond code: Monitor %external sources scanned for secrets% for hardcoded secrets, correlating findings across sources, guiding remediation, and ensuring secrets are rotated and revoked.

High precision and recall: Ensure accurate detection with low false positives and no missed secrets, which is crucial for maintaining security without overwhelming your security teams with alerts.

Get instant notifications of potential breaches

Real-time alerts: Detect intrusions and obtain immediate alerts for any potential breaches or leaks around codebases, ensuring swift response and mitigation.

Attack surface surveillance: Heightened monitoring in repositories that contain sensitive historical secrets, buying time for remediation and protecting sensitive data.  

Extend monitoring to parts of the attack surface that security teams don’t control, such as developer activity across public GitHub, where most internal secrets are leaked.

Prioritize and remediate effortlessly at scale

Decentralized remediation workflows: Promote shared responsibility between engineering and security teams, enhancing collaboration, effectiveness, and efficiency in handling the volume and complexity of incidents.

Custom guidelines and teams: Create tailored incident access and remediation guidelines, adapting to specific operational contexts.

Automated processes: Utilize automated severity scoring, incident triage, and playbooks to streamline the remediation process and reduce Mean Time to Remediate (MTTR).

Prevent secrets from entering shared repositories

Shift-left prevention: Integrates seamlessly into developer workflows to catch secrets before they enter the codebase (client-side pre-commit hooks/pre-push, PRs), without adding security overhead.

Local blocker bypass: Developers can bypass local blockers if necessary, while security teams are notified. This means centralized security functions do not become bottlenecks, and additional developer bandwidth is not required.

Get continuous support and training

Dedicated support: Come to user workshops, talk to dedicated technical account managers, and tailor onboarding programs to ensure smooth deployment and ongoing support.

Custom training programs: Have training programs designed to meet the specific needs of government agencies, ensuring effective use of GitGuardian solutions.
