GitHub advanced security (GHAS) is an application security solution that enables companies to approach security with a developer-first mindset. GHAS implementation helps teams build more secure codes much faster using integrated tooling such as secret scanning and code scanning using CodeQL.
Why GitHub Advanced Security Implementation?
GHAS is a suite of tools that requires active participation from developers across the teams in an organization.
We need a sustained solution in place in order to help the organization with the right security tools in place and the organization’s retrospectives on security are always something like these:
- Why do we keep experiencing application security breaches?
- Despite an emphasis on application development and improvement in application security, application vulnerabilities continue to grow linearly with lines of code.
- How can we break this relationship in order to deliver more secure applications?
The bridge to the gap between the developer team, operations team, security team & various other teams, one might have implemented the DevSecOps culture in the organization. It is at the same time that the organization has to ensure that the process is implemented correctly and here, with DevTools, the services & channel partner for GitHub will help customers by providing the right mindset of the DevSecOps culture to teams on implementing the GitHub Enterprise and advanced security rollout in an organization. We ensure how a team how uses, applies and maintains GHAS while making sure the best return on investment depends on the organizational capabilities
Solving customer problems one at a time
- Lack of proper planning on GitHub’s advanced security rollout
- Allocation of licenses on priority repositories
- Disintegrated systems kind of pseudo-native experience and running into issues where teams would not be able to find the right data
- Insights on vulnerabilities /issues in the code with various projects across different teams
- The automation process is cumbersome as multiple tools are involved
What is The GitHub Advanced Security Implementation?
DevSecOps with GitHub: With GitHub’s advanced security, your organization can bring enterprise DevSecOps realm resulting in lower security costs, more effective teamwork, and policy-driven automation and ship secure applications at scale with GitHub and stay ahead of security issues. GitHub advanced security is a developer-first application security solution that modernizes and transforms how application security is perceived and implemented across organizations. Within the GitHub advanced security ecosystem, there are four core capabilities.
- Code scanning
Find and fix security issues in your code before they reach production with static application security testing (SAST) - Secret scanning
Prevent unauthorized access and breaches by watching your repositories for known secret formats that notify you as soon as secrets are found
- Dependency review
Catch vulnerable dependencies before you introduce them to your codebase
Security overview
Understand the security risks in your organization and individual repositories with a centralized view of everything security
GitHub advanced security helps you find and fix security issues in your code earlier to scale and automate your application security.
How can DevTools help?
We have experts who can assist development teams, and AppSec teams with workflow implementation of GHAS in the enterprise, automating the policies for enabling the features of GHAS, recommending the best practices in implementing the code security and securing the supply chain process.
