Advanced Security on GitHub – Part 1 of 2

Understanding GHAS and Its Role in the Security Ecosystem

Estimated reading: 2 minutes 55 views

Gone are the days when security was isolated and treated as a separate phase or a final step in the software development lifecycle.

As we have seen, this approach can lead to late detection of vulnerabilities, delaying their remediation. Issues are often discovered only at the end of the development process, resulting in additional costs and delivery delays.

Today, it is essential to integrate security seamlessly at every stage of the software development lifecycle.

This approach ensures that security considerations are addressed from the very beginning of the project, enabling faster detection and more efficient resolution of vulnerabilities.

Benefits of Early Security Integration:

  • Early Detection: Identifies vulnerabilities at the source code level, reducing the risk of them reaching production.
  • Efficient Remediation: Security issues are addressed as part of regular development activities, reducing time and effort required for resolution.
  • Consistent Security Standards: Integration ensures uniform compliance with security standards throughout the development cycle, fostering a proactive security culture.
  • Enhanced Collaboration: Developers, security teams, and other stakeholders work together, making security a shared responsibility.

By understanding and implementing these advanced security practices with GHAS, organizations can significantly improve their development processes and create a more resilient and secure ecosystem.

GHAS empowers DevSecOps teams to prioritize innovation and improve developer productivity without compromising security.

Automated security checks run on every pull request, enabling vulnerabilities to be detected within the workflow and fixed in minutes—not months.

Our developer-focused solution allows you to secure your code, supply chain, and secrets even before deployment to production.
GHAS provides security teams with visibility into the organization’s overall security posture and unparalleled access to security intelligence enriched by millions of developers and security researchers worldwide.
