We get improved visibility and excellent support but require better detection of custom data
Reduction in the attack surface is the main benefit. We have not worked with it much yet, but so far, it has been good. It can be improved a bit more in the future, but so far, we have just scratched the surface with Entro Security. Entro Security has helped develop a better culture among developers. They are willing and starting to use something called Vault to store credentials, and they even do it without us telling them. In the past, they used to post everything like in ClearText, whereas now, they are voluntarily migrating the information to Vault. I am pretty sure it is because Entro Security is also annoying them. Every time there is a finding, we ping them via Slack. The ping comes from Entro itself. They do not want to be bothered by messages. They do not want to be seen as a bad employee, so they are using it on their own. It is not hard for us to establish behavioral baselines for non-human identities (NHI) in Entro Security. It is important that Entro Security’s detection and mitigation of NHI threats is done in real-time. It is becoming a worldwide issue, not only in our company. So many companies are trying to solve this issue where developers are posting credentials in plain text. It is of very high priority. It is not critical, but it is highly important. Entro Security has improved visibility, revealing the extent of our credential issues, where strong credentials like admin accounts were found in plaintext in numerous projects. We have more visibility and control. We got to know that the issue was much bigger than we thought. We thought that only one out of ten projects would have some kind of password, but we found more than five to seven projects having plain text credentials. The credentials stored were of strong accounts. They had put admin account information in plain text. We did not think it would be this severe. We thought that, at worst, they would be some maintainer credentials, but they were using full admin credentials in their code and had put them just in plain text. Entro Security has helped improve our organization’s security posture. Entro Security has decreased our exposure to risk. It reduces exposure from the inside, not from the outside.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The top features of Entro Security that stand out are its ease of onboarding and discovery."
"They are very helpful and responsive. They acknowledge issues, take feedback seriously, and implement features based on user requests."
"The secrets detection and alerting is the most important feature. We get alerted almost immediately after someone commits a secret. It has been very accurate, allowing us to jump on it right away, then figure out if we have something substantial that has been leaked or whether it is something that we don't have to worry about. This general main feature of the app is great."
"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 breadth of the solution detection capabilities is pretty good. They have good categories and a lot of different types of secrets... it gives us a great range when it comes to types of secrets, and that's good for us."
"GitGuardian public leak detection significantly enhances our organization's data security by continuously monitoring public repositories."
"GitGuardian has many features that fit our use cases. We have our internal policies on secret exposure, and our code is hosted on GitLab, so we need to prevent secrets from reaching GitLab because our customers worry that GitLab is exposed. One of the great features is the pre-receive hook. It prevents commits from being pushed to the repository by activating the hook on the remotes, which stops the developers from pushing to the remote. The secrets don't reach GitLab, and it isn't exposed."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to automate both downloading the repository and generating a Software Bill of Materials directly from it."
"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."
 

Cons

"Entro Security could benefit from improvements in IAM control to allow segregation of duties among developers."
"The detection of generic content or custom data specific to our company needs improvement. It has trouble detecting unique patterns of secrets."
"The analytics in GitGuardian Platform have a significant opportunity to better reflect the value provided to security teams and demonstrate actual activity occurring. While the self-healing capability and proactive developer actions are important features, the analytics do not provide information around this activity."
"Other solutions have a live chat feature that provides instant results. Waiting for an agent to reply to an email is less ideal than an instant conversation with a support employee. That's a complaint so minor I almost hesitate to mention it."
"GitGuardian Platform does what it is designed to do, but it still generates many false positives."
"One of our current challenges is that the GitGuardian platform identifies encrypted secrets and statements as sensitive information even though they're secured."
"There has been a little bit of downtime of late, and it has been reasonably impactful when it's not been scanning."
"One improvement that I'd like to see is a cleaner for Splunk logs. It would be nice to have a middle man for anything we send or receive from Splunk forwarders. I'd love to see it get cleaned by GitGuardian or caught to make sure we don't have any secrets getting committed to Splunk logs."
"The main disadvantage I feel they should improve upon is that apart from flagging credential issues or secrets, they could incorporate something else to make it more dynamic."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's competitively priced compared to others. Overall, the secret detection sector is expensive, but we are very happy with the value we get."
"With GitGuardian, we didn't need any middlemen."
"The pricing and licensing are fair. It isn't very expensive and it's good value."
"I compared the solution to a couple of other solutions, and I think it is very competitively priced."
"It's fairly priced, as it performs a lot of analysis and is a valuable tool."
"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 internal side is cheap per user. It is annual pricing based on the number of users."
"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."
