GitGuardian

About

At the heart of GitGuardian is a culture of innovation and a shared passion for securing the world's code. Founded in 2017 by two engineers, Eric Fourrier and Jérémy Thomas, the company was born from a side project that revealed a startling truth: a massive number of secrets were being leaked on public GitHub repositories. This discovery ignited a mission to protect developers and organizations from the significant risks of exposed credentials. The team at GitGuardian, known as 'Guardians', operates with a developer-first mindset, striving to create solutions that are not only powerful but also seamlessly integrate into the developer's workflow. They believe in empowering Dev, Sec, and Ops teams to collaborate effectively towards a secure software development lifecycle. The company fosters a culture of radical transparency, altruism, and continuous learning. With a diverse team representing over 20 nationalities across offices in Paris, Boston, and New York, English is the primary working language, and a global perspective is ingrained in their operations. Guardians are encouraged to be analytical, precise, and innovative, approaching challenges with an iterative, step-by-step methodology. This environment of mutual support ensures that everyone has the opportunity to both learn from their peers and share their own expertise. The company values a strong team spirit, where individuals are encouraged to agree or disagree but always commit to the collective goal. This collaborative and ambitious spirit drives GitGuardian's mission to be the wingman for developers at every stage of the development lifecycle, providing automated vulnerability detection and remediation to safeguard against the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats.
