Capital Deployment: Three Strategic Pillars

1. AI Agent Security Innovation: The funding will enable GitGuardian to address the fastest-growing attack surface in enterprise software: AI agents. The platform will expand to detect, monitor, and govern credentials used by AI systems, from coding assistants to customer service bots.

2. Enterprise-Scale NHI Governance: GitGuardian will continue to invest in its enterprise-grade secrets security platform and deliver comprehensive NHI lifecycle management capabilities, including automated discovery, usage analytics, rotation policies, and compliance reporting.

3. Geographic Expansion & Market Penetration: GitGuardian will aim to accelerate its US expansion while opening new regions, including APAC, South America, and the Middle East. The company will also look to strengthen its European presence, targeting DACH, UK, France, and Nordic markets, where regulatory frameworks increasingly mandate secrets and NHI security.
