DevOps Engineer at Deuna App

Facilitates efficient secret management and improves development processes

Regarding the exceptions in GitGuardian Platform, we know that within the platform we have a way to accept a path or a directory from a repository, but it is not that visible at the very beginning. You have to figure out where to search for it, and once you have it, it is really good, but it is not that visible at the beginning. This should be made more exposed. The documentation could be better because it was not that comprehensively documented. When we started working with GitGuardian Platform, it was difficult to find some specific use cases, and we were not aware of that. It might have improved now, but at that time, it was not something we would recommend.

Has improved our vulnerability tracking and supports cloud-based monitoring with scheduled scans

We don't have any issues with Tenable One Exposure Management Platform. It works well for us, but the only problem is the licensing aspect. In the license, it becomes problematic because when we go to cloud security for vulnerability management, it will take five licenses instead of the one-on-one license that vulnerability exposure management requires. The license needs to be reviewed.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It actually creates an incident ticket for us. We can now go end-to-end after a secret has been identified, to track down who owns the repository and who is responsible for cleaning it up."

"GitGuardian has also helped us develop a security-minded culture. We're serious about shift left and getting better about code security. I think a lot of people are getting more mindful about what a secret is."

"The majority of our incidents for critical detectors and important secret types are remediated automatically or proactively by developers through GitGuardian's notification system, without security team involvement."

"GitGuardian Internal Monitoring has helped increase our secrets detection rate by several orders of magnitude. This is a hard metric to get. For example, if we knew what our secrets were and where they were, we wouldn't need GitGuardian or these types of solutions. There could be a million more secrets that GitGuardian doesn't detect, but it is basically impossible to find them by searching for them."

"GitGuardian has pretty broad detection capabilities. It covers all of the types of secrets that we've been interested in... [Yet] The "detector" concept, which identifies particular categories or types of secrets, allows an organization to tweak and tailor the configuration for things that are specific to its environment. This is highly useful if you're particularly worried about a certain type of secret and it can help focus attention, as part of early remediation efforts."

"You can also assign tasks to specific teams or people to complete, such as assigning something to the "blue team" or saying that this person needs to do this, and that person needs to do that. That is a great feature because you can actually manage your team internally in GitGuardian."

"It enables us to identify leaks that happened in the past and remediate current leaks as they happen in near real-time. When I say "near real-time," I mean within minutes. These are industry-leading remediation timelines for credential leaks. Previously, it might have taken companies years to get credentials detected or remediated. We can do it in minutes."

"Some of our teams have hundreds of repositories, so filtering by team saves a lot of time and effort."

More GitGuardian Platform pros

"The solution is very easy to set up."

"The feature of vulnerability management and discovery is what I use."

"The product gives us a lot of insight."

"For me, the setup has been an easy process."

"I think it's a good product for risk-based or exposure-based vulnerability management."

"We find Tenable One Exposure Management Platform vulnerability prioritization effective overall because, with the scheduled scan running on our set schedule, we can remediate any findings and check on the next schedule if issues are closed, making it much easier for us to monitor vulnerabilities."

Cons

"Right now, we are waiting for improvement in the RBAC support for GitGuardian."

"GitGuardian could have more detailed information on what software engineers can do. It only provides some highly generic feedback when a secret is detected. They should have outside documentation. We send this to our software engineers, who are still doing the commits. It's the wrong way to work, but they are accustomed to doing it this way. When they go into that ticket, they see a few instructions that might be confusing. If I see a leaked secret committed two years ago, it's not enough to undo that commit. I need to go in there, change all my code to utilize GitHub secrets, and go on AWS to validate my key."

"I would like to see more fine-grained access controls when tickets are assigned for incidents. I would like the ability to provide more controls to the team leads or the product managers so that they can drive what we, the AppSec team, are doing."

"An area for improvement is the front end for incidents. The user experience in this area could be much better."

"We have been somewhat confused by the dashboard at times."

"They could give a developer access to a dashboard for their team's repositories that just shows their repository secrets. I think more could be exposed to developers."

"The analytics in GitGuardian Platform have a significant opportunity to better reflect the value provided to security teams and demonstrate actual activity occurring."

"We have encountered occasional difficulties with the Single Sign-On process."

More GitGuardian Platform cons

"The sensor update is a challenge that Tenable needs to address."

"It would be nice if the product provided an agent for enforcing policies."

"The product has limited reporting capabilities and it isn't great at allowing for customization in reports."

"The license needs to be reviewed."

"Tenable needs to provide a better way to manage private clouds."

"The sensor update is a challenge that Tenable needs to address. Sometimes they behave abruptly, requiring me to rework reinstalling the sensors on the endpoints."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am only aware of the base price. I do not know what happened with our purchasing team in discussions with GitGuardian. I was not privy to the overall contract, but in terms of the base MSRP price, I found it reasonable."

"The pricing for GitGuardian is fair."

"I compared the solution to a couple of other solutions, and I think it is very competitively priced."

"The pricing and licensing are fair. It isn't very expensive and it's good value."

"It could be cheaper. When GitHub secrets monitoring solution goes to general access and general availability, GitGuardian might be in a little bit of trouble from the competition, and maybe then they might lower their prices. The GitGuardian solution is great. I'm just concerned that they're not GitHub."

"It's a bit expensive, but it works well. You get what you pay for."

"You get what you pay for. It's one of the more expensive solutions, but it is very good, and the low false positive rate is a really appealing factor."

"It's a little bit expensive."
