GitHub Enterprise security best practices
Blog post from GitHub
GitHub Enterprise is designed to be a low-maintenance tool with robust security features that can be quickly set up for developers, emphasizing the importance of following certain security practices to ensure a secure installation without hindering collaboration. Key security measures include safeguarding the Enterprise Management Console password, enabling Private Mode to protect repositories from unauthorized access, and implementing subdomain isolation to prevent vulnerabilities such as cross-site scripting. Enhanced monitoring capabilities, such as activity graphs and audit logs, provide administrators with insights into the instance's health and security. Authentication methods like restricted user groups and Universal Second Factor Authentication (U2F) offer additional security layers, allowing administrators to fine-tune access control and monitor usage effectively. GitHub's organizational features also help secure installations by enabling granular access control at the team and repository levels. The post encourages administrators to reach out for support and guidance to maintain a secure and efficient GitHub Enterprise environment.
