We think a lot about a high-profile supply chain attack that might cause developers, teams, and organizations to lose trust in open source. That’s why we’re investing in new ways to protect the open source ecosystem.
Supply chain attacks exploit our implicit trust of open source to hurt developers and our customers. Read our proposal for how npm will significantly reduce supply chain attacks by signing packages with Sigstore.
These days software is subject to an ever-changing threat landscape. Check out the many ways you can keep your projects secure on GitHub today.
The dependency graph helps developers and maintainers understand the code they depend on, and now includes GitHub Actions!
GitHub has partnered with the OpenSSF and Project Sigstore to add container image signing to our default “Publish Docker Container” workflow.
Now available, code scanning is a developer-first, GitHub-native approach to easily find security vulnerabilities before they reach production.
Learn more about what’s behind the scenes with GitHub vulnerability alerts.
The dependency graph is rolling out for all PHP repositories with Composer dependencies. In addition to Composer, GitHub supports package managers for many other programming languages, including Maven, NPM, Yarn, and Nuget.
Token scanning has reached a new milestone: one billion tokens identified. We’ve also added five new partners—Atlassian, Dropbox, Discord, Proctorio, and Pulumi.
Commit signing is now enabled for all bots by default.
Yarn now supports security alerts for public and private repositories.
It’s more important than ever that every developer becomes a security developer—that they responsibly disclose vulnerabilities and patch vulnerable code quickly. Today, we’re excited to announce several new security features designed to make it easier for developers to secure their code.
