Product showcase: GitGuardian Honeytoken catches credential theft as it happens

Credential theft on developer machines has expanded beyond targeting known browser and cloud storage locations; modern infostealers like Shai-Hulud now scan entire filesystems to validate and harvest any credentials they find. GitGuardian's Honeytoken product uses deception techniques to detect this activity in real time.

Why it matters: Developers and organizations managing developer endpoints face wider credential exposure as infostealer families broaden their targeting; honeytoken-based detection offers a way to catch theft early rather than after compromise.
