One vulnerability view: From scanner coverage to AI governance

GitLab 19.1 introduces enhanced security and governance features aimed at improving application security and providing comprehensive oversight of AI agent activities. The update allows for the integration of third-party security scanners across all projects, ensuring consistent and provable scanner coverage, with automatic remediation of vulnerabilities through the GitLab Duo Agent Platform. Secret detection now scans all commits on a new branch, reducing the risk of missed secrets and minimizing false positives by adding a confidence score to each finding. Additionally, the release includes AI audit event streaming in beta, which records all actions performed by AI agents as audit events, allowing for greater transparency and control over agent activities. Administrators can set approval guardrails for agent tools, ensuring sensitive actions require human review before execution, thereby maintaining accountability and governance within the codebase.
