GitGuardian Smart Notifiers: Filter Incident Alerts by Risk, Severity, and More

Every secret leak matters, but not every incident needs the same level of alerting. GitGuardian’s new Smart Notifiers let teams define per-channel rules so notifications are only sent for the incidents that matter most, using filters like severity, ML risk score, validity, secret type, and GitGuardian tags. This is available now for custom webhooks, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. We will be adding support for ServiceNow, Jira, Splunk, PagerDuty, Discord, and broader email filtering coming next.

The hidden cost of Git repository bloat

Git repository growth often looks harmless at first. A few large assets, generated files, dependency folders, old branches, release archives, test datasets, or binary files may not cause immediate problems. Developers can still commit, pipelines still run, and the repository appears manageable. Over time, however, unnecessary data accumulates in Git history and becomes a backup and recovery challenge.
