Allison provides an update on GitHub’s security campaigns, introducing enhanced notifications for developers and highlighting integration with GitHub Copilot Autofix as part of the platform’s security and collaboration improvements.

Improved Notifications in GitHub Security Campaigns

Starting today, developers with write access to repositories involved in security campaigns will automatically receive email notifications, even if they have not subscribed to repository activity. Previously, users were required to subscribe to All activity or Security alerts to be notified of relevant events, such as the creation of new campaigns or when campaigns reached their due dates.

Key Changes and Impact

Automatic Notifications: Developers best positioned to address security alerts will now be automatically kept in the loop about their security team’s priorities.
Streamlined Collaboration: These improvements aim to make developer communication and collaboration around security issues more seamless, reducing the chance of missing critical remediation tasks.
Security Campaigns: GitHub security campaigns allow teams to prioritize and rapidly tackle application security debt. They leverage tools like GitHub Copilot Autofix, which can suggest fixes automatically when campaigns are created.
Availability: Security campaigns and these improvements are available to users of GitHub Code Security on GitHub Enterprise Cloud.
