HelpNet Security, Monday, January 13th, 2025
In this Help Net Security, Alexis Wales, CISO at GitHub, discusses how GitHub embeds security into every aspect of its platform to protect millions of developers and repositories, ensuring it remains a trustworthy platform for building secure software.
GitHub plays a central role in the software development ecosystem. How do you address security at the scale of millions of users and repositories?
Security is embedded into everything we do at GitHub, from ensuring the health and security of our platform and business, to our broader community. Knowing that software security begins with the developer, we've rolled out 2FA for all users who contribute code on GitHub as part of a platform-wide effort to secure the software ecosystem through improving account security.
