Why it matters
GitGuardian's deployment controls give defenders practical ways to limit credential exposure and downstream damage when AI agents are compromised or behave unexpectedly.
GitGuardian's AI agent deployment guide treats agents as non-human identities whose credentials determine their potential blast radius. The guide recommends sandboxing, task-scoped credentials, protected configuration and MCP servers, per-call logging, secret scanning, and deny-by-default access.
