GitGuardian, is joining the Snyk Technology Alliance Partner Program.

The new partnership enables Snyk and GitGuardian to build, integrate and go to market together to help development and security teams scale their security programs and significantly reduce their applications' attack surface at every stage of the code-to-cloud lifecycle.

“GitGuardian and Snyk share the same mission: helping developers build and deploy secure applications in a cloud-native world. We also share the same success; GitGuardian and Snyk are the two most installed GitHub security apps, totaling more than 70% of the downloads in their category. We’re excited to join the Snyk Technology Alliance Partner Program and provide our advanced secrets detection and remediation to Snyk’s user base,” said Eric Fourrier, CEO and Founder of GitGuardian.

“GitGuardian’s advanced secrets detection technology detects, alerts, and prevents hardcoded secrets in the software delivery pipeline,” said Jill Wilkins, Senior Director, Global Technology Alliances, Snyk. “Joined with Snyk’s ability to secure all of the critical components of applications from code to cloud, organizations are able to mitigate risks both early in development plus prevent secrets sprawl across the software supply chain. This combination greatly improves the overall hygiene of your code security posture.”

GitGuardian and Snyk have adopted parallel strategies to bridge developer and security silos. GitGuardian’s approach, dubbed “The AppSec Shared Responsibility Model,” has helped the company successfully deploy secrets detection programs for organizations with thousands of developers by:

- Providing security teams with complete visibility and continuous assessment of their software supply chain’s security posture.

- Combining contextual security insights and automated remediation workflows, enabling security engineers to prioritize and relay hardcoded secrets incidents to developers quickly.

- Empowering developers to fix vulnerabilities by themselves in a guided remediation process and prevent new ones by integrating secrets scanning in their workflows.

In addition, both companies are committed to delivering a best-in-class developer experience, which has resulted in their platforms being the most downloaded applications in the security category of the GitHub Marketplace, with GitGuardian and Snyk ranking first and second, respectively.
