Security is a critical component for engineering organizations, particularly in regulated sectors like the automotive industry, and GitHub Solutions Engineer Phil Holleran provides insights on enhancing security and compliance workflows in a webcast titled “Driving secure, collaborative development.” Key strategies include enforcing multi-factor authentication (MFA) to prevent unauthorized access, regularly auditing authentication methods, and using GitHub Apps to manage permissions effectively. Additionally, protecting code integrity is emphasized through features like branch protection to prevent unauthorized modifications, and the new code owners feature, which automates the assignment of code reviewers. These measures aim to streamline security processes while maintaining a collaborative development environment.
