Release Date: April 29, 2025

We’re excited to announce a significant enhancement to our secret detection capabilities for Jira and Confluence Cloud: historical scanning is now available!

What's new?

Previously, our integration would surface hardcoded secrets in real-time, alerting you to newly introduced risks as soon as they appeared. With this update, we’re extending our detection to include secrets that were leaked in the past—not just those introduced going forward.

Why does this matter?

Once a secret is leaked, it should always be considered compromised, regardless of when the leak occurred. By surfacing historical secrets, you can now:

• Identify and remediate old, forgotten leaks that may still pose a security risk.
• Achieve a more comprehensive security posture by ensuring that no secrets—past or present—slip through the cracks.
• Take proactive action to rotate or revoke secrets that may have been exposed long ago.

Check out our public documentation to enable the feature now:

• Jira Cloud
• Confluence Cloud

We're proud to introduce NHI Governance our brand new solution designed to help you manage and secure your Non-Human Identities (NHIs) and related secrets.

As organizations face exponential growth in machine identities, NHI Governance delivers a comprehensive observability and lifecycle management across all your environments. Integrating with leading secrets managers and other sources from your infrastructure, such as CI/CD pipelines or Kubernetes Clusters, it centralizes inventory, helps you assess your posture, and enforces security policies.

The solution offers:

• Deep contextual insights, mapping relationships between secrets, their consumers, and resources, drastically reducing incident response times.
• Advanced analytics helps you identify risks like overprivileged NHIs and track hygiene metrics.
• Policy enforcement aligns your posture with standards such as the OWASP NHI Top 10.

NHI Governance empowers you to regain control over your NHIs and tied secrets, reduce risk, accelerate compliance tasks, and improve hygiene by addressing orphaned, untracked, or overprivileged credentials.

We are excited to unveil the "Generic Secret Enricher V1", a machine learning model designed to enhance our capabilities in generic secret detection. This innovative model analyzes the entire context of a document, identifying the company and category associated with a secret, thereby providing meaningful insights to help users understand the origin and type of a discovered secret.

New Features​

• Contextual Analysis: Upon detection of a generic secret, our platform analyzes the full document context to determine the associated provider or category of a secret.

• Efficient Classification: This feature reduces the need for manual classification, enabling users to quickly comprehend the source and nature of a discovered generic secret.

• New Filters: We've introduced three new filters - Provider, Category, Family - to help identify critical generic incidents. To use these, filter your incidents by the "Generic" type, then apply a combination of these filters.

Goals​

Our long-term goal is to provide you with actionable insights, prioritize their generic incidents, and improve their remediation efforts.

Usage​

To use the new filters, simply filter your incidents by the "Generic" type, then apply a combination of the Provider, Category, and Family filters. This will help you identify the most significant or critical generic incidents, such as those classified under "Data Storage" or linked to the provider "Postgresql".

Fixes​

• Jira Cloud Issue Tracking Integration: Resolved an issue where integration entered an invalid state after being uninstalled.
• Microsoft Teams Alerts for Security Incidents: Resolved an issue where the wrong team was displayed during configuration.

  Release Date: February 28, 2025

GitGuardian now integrates with AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, Azure Key Vault, Google Secret Manager, Delinea, and Akeyless through ggscout, letting you sync secret incidents with your Secrets Managers—without exposing sensitive data.
