Extending Our Mission With Developer Endpoint Protection

GitGuardian announces Developer Endpoint Protection, a local-scanning extension to its ggshield CLI that discovers plaintext credentials across developer laptops (shell histories, AI agent caches, .env files), places honeytokens to detect active credential theft, and integrates findings into SIEM/NHI workflows. The post emphasizes privacy-first local scanning, fast Rust-based performance, enterprise deployment considerations (MDM support, low performance impact), and the goal of reducing credential exposure in the era of AI coding agents.
