Provides essential data security features but its dashboard needs improvement
Pros and Cons
  • "It ensures user passwords or sensitive information are not accidentally exposed in code or reports."
  • "There could be a centralized dashboard to view reports of all the projects on one platform."

What is our primary use case?

We use GitHub Advanced Security to secure data for multiple applications. It ensures user passwords or sensitive information are not accidentally exposed in code or reports. It scans the project's dependencies and checks if they are up-to-date and free from known security vulnerabilities.

What is most valuable?

GitHub Advanced Security is part of the Azure DevOps ecosystem. So, all the dashboards and information stay in our environment. We are not required to integrate it with any external security solution.

What needs improvement?

There could be a centralized dashboard to view reports of all the projects on one platform.

What other advice do I have?

I rate GitHub Advanced Security a seven out of ten.
