GitGuardian Alternative for Hardcoded Secret Detection

Securing applications and the software supply chain requires understanding the relationships between applications, components, people, tools, pipelines, runtime environments, and risks.

The Cycode platform was built specifically to fill the visibility gaps that have historically frustrated application security programs.

Why choose Cycode over GitGuardian?

Cycode provides comprehensive protection across the entire SDLC, enabling faster and more complete remediation, providing more ways to control the impact of exposed secrets, protecting against insider threats, and addressing other major AppSec and software supply chain risks.

Protect Secrets

Identifies secrets across the entire SDLC - source code, build logs, Infrastructure as code, Kubernetes clusters, version histories, Docker images, and productivity tools (e.g., Slack).

• Cycode: Yes
• GitGuardian: Partial
  • Identifies secrets in source code, IaC code, and Docker images only.

Detect Leakage

Identifies leakage of private code and secrets in GitHub and GitLab public repositories and code snippets.

• Cycode: Yes
• GitGuardian: Partial
  • Leakage detection is available only for GitHub public repositories.

Harden SDLC Tools

Enforces secure configurations and best practices.

• Cycode: Yes
• GitGuardian: None

Secure Code

Identifies vulnerable application code with SAST.

• Cycode: Yes
• GitGuardian: None

Secure Code Dependencies

Identifies vulnerable code with SCA.

• Cycode: Yes
• GitGuardian: None

Secure Infrastructure as Code

Identifies IaC misconfigurations.

• Cycode: Yes

Protect CI/CD Pipelines

Next-gen SCA to protect against the use of insecure tools, modules, dependencies in pipelines, and prevent tampering.

• Cycode: Yes
• GitGuardian: None

Protect Cloud Deployment

Identifies misconfigured cloud resources and drift from IaC.

• Cycode: Yes
• GitGuardian: None

Where does Cycode stand out from GitGuardian?

The Cycode platform includes and orchestrates all the AppSec tools you need, correlating security data and context across the SDLC to improve the accuracy and relevance of AppSec findings and improve collaboration between development, AppSec, and operational teams.

Secrets Across the SDLC

Cycode provides comprehensive coverage by identifying exposed secrets throughout the entire SDLC – in repositories, pipelines, runtime, and even collaboration channels such as Slack.

Complete Remediation

Cycode provides an automated, consistent scan and remediation experience across the many types of risk we identify, ensuring problems are found and fixed as quickly as possible.

Contextual Insights

Cycode monitors the entire SDLC and reports findings with full context so you can avoid the manual investigation and prioritize the most important findings.

Developer First

Cycode seamlessly integrates into developer workflows, providing security in commits and pull requests without leaving the development environment.

Risk Based Prioritization

With visibility from code to cloud, Cycode understands your application, dependencies, CI/CD pipelines, and runtime.

Instant Value

Integrate your DevOps tools in less than 1 min to deliver immediate value and allow maximum agility across your SDLC.
