Announcing general availability of GitHub Advanced Security for Azure DevOps

GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) is designed to enhance software security by integrating application security testing solutions directly into the developer workflow, thereby minimizing context switching and increasing productivity without compromising security. It features native code scanning that surfaces relevant alerts incrementally in pull requests, achieving higher engagement and fix rates compared to traditional SAST tools. With the general availability of GHAS for Azure DevOps, users can now deploy these security features across their repositories, benefiting from enhanced visibility and integration with Microsoft Defender for Cloud. This allows organizations to manage alerts efficiently from a centralized interface and ensures that both GitHub and Azure DevOps users can leverage the same security advantages.
