Application security orchestration with GitHub Advanced Security

GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) integrates security testing into developer workflows to enhance software security without sacrificing productivity or collaboration. GHAS allows developers to automate security tests for vulnerabilities and secret leaks on every pull request, displaying results in a cohesive format alongside native GitHub solutions. It offers free security features for public repositories and as an add-on for private ones, enabling the use of tools like CodeQL for static analysis, Dependabot for supply chain security, and secret scanning for credential leaks. Developers can extend their security coverage with over 60 third-party application security tools, including SAST, DAST, API, and container scanning tools, all integrated seamlessly via GitHub Actions. The platform provides a centralized view of security risks across multiple repositories, allowing users to manage vulnerabilities effectively and maintain a consistent security posture.
