GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) is a powerful suite of tools and features that enables you to identify security vulnerabilities in your codebase and environment.
These features allow you to secure your code at every stage of the software development lifecycle—not just in production.
This way, you can anticipate threats and security breaches, leverage the expertise of the security community, and continue using open-source software safely.
GHAS also promotes the implementation of security best practices, fostering a culture of security within your organization.
