#Code Security

Overview

GitHub Advanced Security provides built-in security tools including static code analysis, secret scanning, and dependency monitoring within GitHub repositories. It integrates application security directly into developer workflows to identify and remediate vulnerabilities early in the development lifecycle.

Key Features

Code Scanning with CodeQL

Uses semantic code analysis to find vulnerabilities in source code and scans every pull request to prevent new security issues.

Secret Scanning

Detects exposed secrets in public and private repositories to prevent credential leaks and unauthorized access.

Dependency Graph and Dependabot Alerts

Visualizes project dependencies and alerts users about vulnerabilities in those dependencies to maintain secure software supply chains.

GitHub Copilot Autofix

AI-powered automated fixes for common security vulnerabilities in supported languages like JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, and Python.

Security Campaigns

Enables targeting and bulk remediation of security alerts to reduce security debt and mitigate risks efficiently.

Native Integration with GitHub Workflows

Operates within GitHub's existing developer workflows, simplifying adoption and remediation without disrupting development processes.

Push Protection for Secret Leaks

Prevents new secret leaks by blocking pushes that contain exposed secrets, enhancing repository security.

Support for Azure DevOps

Available as an add-on for Microsoft Azure DevOps, extending security capabilities beyond GitHub repositories.
