DevOps security platform that detects, remediates, and governs hardcoded secrets across the software development lifecycle. Scans internal repositories and public GitHub for API keys, tokens, certificates, and database credentials, with automated remediation workflows to reduce exposure risk.

Trusted by enterprises such as DigitalOcean and Orange Business, and used to protect development teams at scale. Differentiates by combining internal and public secrets monitoring in one platform, with ggshield as a CLI and pre-commit tool that syncs with the dashboard for unified workflows.
