How empowering developers helps teams ship secure software faster

GitHub is focused on enhancing security resilience by integrating robust security measures into developers' workflows, aiming to make security an intrinsic part of the coding process rather than a separate task. Niroshan Rajadurai, Senior Director of Global GitHub Advanced Security Sales, emphasizes that developers are central to both introducing and fixing vulnerabilities, and therefore, security features should be optimized for their workflow. GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) offers features like push protection for secret scanning, which prevents credential leaks by rejecting pushes that contain secrets, thereby maintaining the developer's flow. Additionally, security results are centralized in pull requests to streamline the process like any other code review. The platform's community-driven approach enables developers to access the latest security intelligence, helping them update more vulnerable packages and secure millions of projects. GitHub's dedication to developer-friendly security aims to enhance innovation by increasing developer velocity and minimizing disruptions, positioning DevSecOps as the future of application security.
