Introduction
In today's environment, development teams deliver software rapidly and continuously. However, the speed of modern software delivery introduces new security risks. Vulnerabilities may appear in application code, third-party dependencies, or exposed credentials committed to repositories.
GitHub Advanced Security helps organizations detect these issues directly within their development workflows through capabilities such as:
- Code scanning
- Secret scanning
- Dependency scanning
While detection is essential, organizations must also establish processes for triaging, prioritizing, and remediating alerts across repositories and teams.
In large environments, security alerts may appear across hundreds of repositories. Without structured operational workflows, vulnerabilities may remain unresolved and security posture becomes difficult to measure. This module focuses on the operational management of GitHub Advanced Security alerts. You'll explore how security teams and developers collaborate to manage vulnerabilities through structured triage, remediation workflows, governance policies, and operational metrics.
By applying these practices, organizations can move from reactive vulnerability management toward continuous remediation integrated into everyday development workflows.
