GitHub presents an overview of developer-first code security tools, including CodeQL, Copilot Autofix, security campaigns, and dependency review, to help developers identify and manage vulnerabilities. Authored by the GitHub team.

Enhancing Code Security with GitHub Tools

GitHub provides a range of security-focused features that help developers identify and resolve vulnerabilities early in the software development lifecycle. This video highlights the key tools available on the GitHub platform:

Developer-First Security Tools

CodeQL: A static analysis engine that scans repositories for code vulnerabilities and helps developers catch issues at the source.
Copilot Autofix: An AI-powered tool that suggests and applies one-click fixes for security vulnerabilities detected in the codebase.
Security Campaigns: Organized initiatives to manage and reduce technical security debt across projects, improving overall software resilience.
Dependency Review: A feature that notifies developers about risky dependencies and changes in open source packages, allowing informed decisions during pull requests.

Integrated Security in the Developer Workflow

GitHub’s security solutions are designed to empower developers to address vulnerabilities directly within their coding environment and CI/CD pipelines, supporting proactive DevSecOps adoption.
