Protect Non-Human Identities and Secrets

Securing non-human identities requires both detecting compromised secrets and proactively governing the lifecycle of secrets.

What are non-human identities?

Non-Human Identity (NHI)—also referred to as machine identity is a digital reference used to authenticate and access other systems, specifically for machines, bots, or workloads.

NHIs use “secrets” for authentication, so the NHI boom leads to more secrets sprawl. Compromised secrets can be exploited by attackers for lateral movement or escalation of privileges.

NHI is the #1 vector of attacks

NHIs outnumber human identities 50x in enterprises. Developers prioritize speed, granting NHIs excessive permissions and long lifespans, leaving security teams without visibility or control.

Traditional IAM, IGA, PAM, and ITDR fail to address the challenges that come with NHIs— as microservices, APIs, and automation drive their rapid growth.

Secrets Security 🤝 NHI Governance

GitGuardian’s unified NHI Security platform detects both internal sprawl and external leaks of secrets and equips security and IAM teams with deep visibility into the lifecycle of associated NHIs.

Full visibility and control of your secrets

The scale and decentralized nature of NHIs and secrets present operational challenges that traditional tools cannot fully address.

GitGuardian bridges the gap by providing a centralized inventory of secrets across vaults and identity sources, mapping their access and permissions, automating lifecycle management, and enhancing  security posture through actionable analytics, ensuring compliance across your NHI ecosystem.

If you can't see it, you can't secure it

Discover and inventory 

GitGuardian tackles the core industry challenge of NHI and vault sprawl by providing clear visibility across your ecosystem. Our platform delivers a comprehensive secrets inventory, ensuring a single source of truth for secrets spread across code, dev tools, vaults, and other third-party systems.

Gain full contextual understanding

Gain full context around secrets, including permissions, owners, accesses, and associated consumer services. GitGuardian offers detailed insights into each secret's scope, helping you understand its potential impact and vulnerabilities across your infrastructure.

Detect secrets & remediate

By scanning repositories and productivity tools such as Slack, Jira, and Confluence, GitGuardian automatically detects illegitimate usage of secrets, ensuring timely remediation to minimize the attack surface.

Automate rotation and vaulting

Through our partnership with CyberArk, Hashicorp, etc GitGuardian automates the discovery, rotation, and remediation of secrets, including those which were not stored in the Secrets Manager. This enables secure, scalable, comprehensive secrets management.

Prevent incidents to save remediation costs

GitGuardian's ggshield CLI and IDE plugin for VS Code scans code early in the development process, preventing secrets from being exposed and reducing the attack surface.

The existence of a sensitive access token on a compromised server can make all the difference between a single contained incident and a large-scale nightmare. Scanning, scoping, and removing unnecessary secrets from organization assets dramatically reduces the risk of lateral movement and contributes to better segmenting environments.

Must-have item in the era of heightened software supply chain risk. The depth of knowledge of GitGuardian’s professional team members about the risk associated with the software development cycle is phenomenal.

It's good to know GitGuardian has your back; it is an essential last line of defense in any software supply chain.
