Found means fixed: Reduce security debt at scale with GitHub security campaigns

GitHub's security campaigns, integrated with tools like Copilot Autofix, offer a collaborative approach to remediating security vulnerabilities more efficiently within the software development lifecycle. These campaigns, launched in public preview at GitHub Universe, facilitate a streamlined process by bringing together security experts and developers to address security debt, which often remains unresolved due to prioritization challenges. Copilot Autofix accelerates the remediation process by suggesting automated fixes for up to 1,000 code scanning alerts at a time, significantly reducing Mean Time to Remediation (MTTR). Early data indicates a 5.5x improvement in fixing security alerts when included in campaigns, as these alerts receive greater developer engagement than those outside campaigns. Security campaigns simplify the triage and prioritization of security issues, allowing security teams to determine which risks to address across repositories using predefined templates based on common vulnerability themes. Developers are notified of their responsibilities within campaigns, and security managers oversee progress, ensuring that security issues are managed like any other feature work. New features, such as draft security campaigns and automated GitHub Issues, enhance the planning and management of campaign-related activities, making it easier for organizations using GitHub Advanced Security or GitHub Code Security to secure their code at scale.
