As AI generates more code and deploys more agents, the attack surface has shifted: more API keys, more credentials, more agentic access across systems. GitGuardian pivoted 18 months ago to focus on secrets detection, NHI governance, endpoint security, and agentic AI security. Key data points include a 10x growth in AI-generated commits over the past year and emerging attack vectors targeting developer laptops. The post outlines GitGuardian's current capabilities including large-scale secrets scanning, NHI governance tooling, local endpoint scanning, and HoneyTokens for breach detection. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
