Expert Statements
Jeremy Nauta, Software architect, OneTrust
“GitLab Secrets Manager lets us centralize secrets across CI/CD, Kubernetes, and infrastructure as code without standing up multiple vaults or maintaining separate integration points. It also strengthens our supply chain security by tightening which users and pipelines can access a given credential.”
Rajat Pandit, Head of Applied AI at Anthropic
“When defenders have more context than attackers, advanced models change the math in their favor. GitLab’s customers will be able to use Claude Mythos 5 and 5.1 to find vulnerabilities and verify fixes inside the workflows they already run.”
Manav Khurana, Chief product and marketing officer at GitLab
“Every enterprise already runs a software factory, but few have intentionally designed the systems and controls that govern it. GitLab brings together the foundational building blocks for a governed software factory, connecting agentic workflows, security, and AI context and controls so organizations can move software from intent to production with greater speed, governance, and visibility.”
