Taking a proactive approach to security from the beginning of development significantly reduces the costs and efforts associated with fixing issues downstream. With GHAS, you can integrate automated security scans directly into the CI/CD development cycle, ensuring that every line of code is verified before it goes into production.

The GitHub Advanced Security training consists of six progressive modules, covering a wide range of security features. It begins with an introduction to GHAS and its fundamental concepts, then dives into code analysis with CodeQL and secret detection.

Participants will then learn how to manage dependencies with Dependabot and integrate GHAS with existing company services. The final module addresses alert governance and overall security posture, providing a solid foundation for strengthening secure development practices.

This structure enables a gradual skill development journey, from understanding the basics to applying advanced security techniques in real-world development scenarios.

Secret detection and protection

You’ll learn how to set up security workflows to detect exposed secrets in code and prevent sensitive information leaks. GHAS allows you to implement protection rules to automatically block commits containing API keys, passwords, or other critical secrets, ensuring effective risk mitigation.
